The Friends of the Florida Panther Refuge Supports the Proposed Everglades Headwaters National Wildlife Refuge

Please read the Friends letter sent to the United States Fish and Wildlife Service. We are excited with news that the service is considering such important steps to protect large tracts of land north of our Refuge. Later in the year a proposal to expand the Florida Panther National Wildlife Refuge should be open to public comment. For an additional information on this plan visit http://refugeassociation.org/new-issues/btb_noreverglades.html#TOC06. Please visit www.floridapanther.org often to check important opportunities to protect of panthers and panther habitat.

The First Annual Florida Panther Festival was a Huge Success!

On Saturday October 29, 2011 more than 1,000 people attended the Festival despite the hard rain that fell on Saturday and Sunday. Many thanks to the organizers who worked hard to bring the Festival indoors from the original outdoors plan. It was a great pleasure to see all of the attendees, vendors and environmental educational groups celebrating the continued survival of the Florida panther. Please go to www.floridapantherfestival.com for more information.
