NOTHING PROTECTS FLORIDA'S SPRINGS LIKE A GOOD LAWYER

Help Us Put an Environmental Attorney in the Fight for Florida's Springs

DONATE

For ten years, the Springs Council has punched far above its weight, winning in courtrooms, shaping legislation, supporting local communities, and holding state agencies accountable.

Now we have an opportunity to do even more.

FINALLY, AN ENVIRONMENTAL ATTORNEY FOCUSED ON THE FORGOTTEN WATERS

Florida's environmental movement has traditionally invested enormous resources in protecting the Everglades and our coasts. But the springs, rivers, and rural communities of North and Central Florida have had to get by with less. FSC was created to change that, to bring the springs and inland waterways the talent, justice, and resources that match their ecological importance. This campaign will help us take the next step forward.

Thanks to a partnership with Stetson College of Law, a full-time attorney will be placed directly in the fight to protect Florida's springs, rivers, wetlands, and public lands for two years. 

Potential areas of work include data centers, concentrated animal feeding operations, writs of mandamus, PFAS and forever chemicals, and state conservation lands. Having a dedicated staff attorney will allow FSC to take on more campaigns in traditionally underserved rural communities that bear the brunt of water shortage and pollution.​​

OUR GOAL IS $100,000

EVERY DOLLAR WILL BE MATCHED

FSC's board has collectively committed $50,000 toward this effort.

That means every dollar of the remaining $50,000 donated by you and other supporters will be matched until we reach our $100,000 goal.

  • Give $50 → Becomes $100
