Florida Get Involved

̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ Florida Assembly

The 2025 event takes place October 16-18
Registration is now closed.

Registration is now open for ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ Assembly, Florida’s premier conservation gathering, where grassroots leaders from around the state join ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡â€™s professional staff and partners to grow their networks and increase knowledge and skills to protect Florida’s precious natural resources. The two-day event will take place in Central Florida on October 16-18.

This year's theme is Power of Birds, Power of Us: Science and Joy as Catalysts for Conservation. Our Keynote Speaker is Rosemary Mosco, acclaimed author and illustrator. 

Participants will enjoy an early bird discount (limited time only) and the opportunity to see birds on one of our field trips, or participate in our (NEW) nature journaling activity (fee of $10 includes materials). Our host chapter (Orange ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ Society) has recommended for anyone who arrives early on Thursday (or wishes to explore more after the event ends on Saturday.)

Assembly is a great opportunity to network with ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ members, staff, and volunteers across the state. This year's venue is in Howey-in-the-Hills near Lake Apopka.
