“By advocating for policies that protect rural land from overdevelopment, we can ensure that future generations continue to preserve the rich agricultural heritage and natural beauty that defines rural Florida.” John Hallman
Protect Rural Florida — Take a Stand
Florida’s rural lands are more than open space — they are our heritage, food supply, and way of life. But today, they’re threatened by unchecked development, government overreach, and policies that ignore local voices.
Defending Rural Florida is a grassroots movement fighting to protect our land, our communities, and our values. With your support, we:
- Advocate for policies that preserve farmland and rural lifestyles
- Educate the public on the importance of rural preservation
- Monitor legislation and alert you to key issues
- Engage directly with lawmakers in Tallahassee
Your donation of $25, $100, or any amount will help us stay in the fight. Let’s ensure the future of rural Florida remains in the hands of the people who live and work here.
