2024 Post-Session Recap
FSC Executive Director Ryan Smart took us through a deep-dive of springs-related issues we fought hard on in the 2024 Session, including protecting our access to the Courts, keeping trash out of our waterways, and advocating for increased funding for springs restoration and land conservation.
The livestream is now available to watch on the Florida Springs Council's YouTube and Facebook.

ROADTRIP ADVOCATES
For those of you who would like to go beyond mailing or calling your representatives: this gives you the chance to travel to Tallahassee and speak in front of lawmakers in person. Sign up to be notified of any opportunities to join our executive director Ryan Smart, the only lobbyist in Tallahassee working solely on springs issues, for a day in the Capital Building.
We'll bring you up to speed on the issues and together present a united voice for springs.
UPDATE: As legislative session winds down it becomes less likely that there will be further trips to the Capitol. But once you sign up you'll be notified of in-person advocacy opportunities during next year's session or for unexpected advocacy needs throughout the year.
