1000
Friends of Florida promotes healthy urban and natural
places by wise management of growth and change. We educate, advocate,
negotiate and, when necessary, litigate to protect our high quality
of life. We help citizens have the technical knowledge and access
needed to ensure that public and private decisions lead to livable
communities. Our planners, attorneys and community activists work
to protect natural areas, fight urban sprawl, promote sensible
development patterns, and provide affordable housing. Above all,
we strive to give citizens the tools to keep Florida's communities
livable. Founded in 1986, 1000 Friends of Florida is a 501(c)(3)
nonprofit membership organization.
