The 2022 Springs Summit brought together seasoned experts and new advocates for a weekend of learning and networking. Thanks to everyone who attended, presented, and participated in such a great event. We look forward to keeping this momentum going.
Pre-summit outings on the waterways around Crystal River on Friday gave attendees the chance to get together for social time and inspiration.
Friday evening an audience gathered on the waterside lawn of Plantation Inn at sunset to watch Oscar Corral's award-winning documentary, "Fellowship of the Springs."
Volunteers Chelsey and Chris Stevens and Michael McGrath welcomed 200 attendees in for the 2022 Springs Summit panels and presentations.

Every available seat was reserved days before the event began. Attendance for all panels and presentations was free thanks to sponsors, including the Florida Fish and Wildlife Foundation.
One of our goals for this year's summit was to bring more young springs advocates into the movement. Here Executive Director Ryan Smart answers questions during one of the panels.
