Let us know that you are planning to show up!
With only about 100 left in the wild, Florida panthers are one of the most endangered animals on Earth. Panthers are an umbrella species -- so when we protect our Florida panthers, we’re also protecting all the other animals that call their habitat home, including other imperiled species like the Florida black bear, gopher tortoise, indigo snake and wood stork.
There will be FREE swamp buggy tours, guided bird and plant identification hikes, orchid swamp walks and much, much more -- so bring the whole family and make it a day you won’t soon forget!
Join us Saturday in Immokale. Defenders of Wildlife will have a booth set up at the Refuge throughout the day -- so don’t forget to stop by and say hello! We hope you can attend this special event with us to celebrate Florida panthers, learn more about the wildlife and habitat that can found on the refuge and find out what you can do to help defend our beloved and beleaguered state animal.See you soon!
