Florida Springs Restoration Summit Sept. 30 – Oct. 2, 2016

Learn How to Make Meaningful Springs Restoration a Reality

The 2016 Springs Summit will feature a series of plenary sessions to first describe current springs science and management and then delve into the agency, advocacy, legal, media, and legislative remedies that can generate meaningful springs restoration and long-term protection.

OSFR is a proud co-sponsor of this event.

Each speaker will provide examples of tools and activities already being implemented with positive results as well as a vision for future actions to advance restoration and protection goals.

The knowledge gained will be used to create a Springs Restoration Action Plan for Florida. The Action Plan will consolidate key points and next steps presented at the Springs Summit to support implementation. It will be available to Springs Summit attendees.

Join us in Ocala, Florida, for two days of learning and discussion, keynote lunches, an afternoon social and poster session, and a field trip afterwards to paddle the Silver River. Register now>>
