Donate & Make a Difference

Thank you for considering a donation to the Friends of Lower Suwannee & Cedar Keys National Wildlife Refuges. Friends greatly appreciates donations from current members and from other nature enthusiasts. Your gift will help Friends build awareness of, and community support for
the Lower Suwannee and Cedar Keys refuges.

Consider making a donation to our General Fund (form below). These funds will be used as the need arises. And we have a Wish List for specific items we have identified.

Wish List

As a non-profit, Friends runs on the power of our members' commitment to the Refuges, on their annual and life membership dues, and on donations from both members and the community at large.
Wish-fulfillment partners are greatly appreciated!
What are we working toward?
The Wish Has Come True

Swallow-tailed Kite Tracker - $2,500


Friends will help support the tracking of another Swallow-tailed Kite. The full cost would be $4,500. A science teacher at Parkside Elementary in Collier County asked to partner with us. His students raised $1,300 at their Everglades Day event and received an additional $500 contribution from the Florida Ornithological  Society.

This Wish Has Come True
Friends' donors and Refuge Manager Andrew Gude's efforts enabled the project to go forward before the window for starting it closed. Hooray and Thank You.

Longleaf Pine Planting Project - $5,000

The Lower Suwannee Refuge had received authorization for Refuge Forester Daniel Barrand to manage the planting of 60,000 longleaf pine trees on a 40- to 50-acre area of the Refuge. The cost for acquiring and planting the trees is $10,000. The funding for the project was recently rescinded. The project is right at the core of the Refuge's mission. By eliminating some other repair and maintenance work, the Refuge can fund about half of the cost. Friends hopes to fund the rest
