Each year at Audubon Florida's Audubon Assembly in October, the Conservation Action Agenda is adopted. Once approved, these goals focus the work of state staff. Audubon Florida is unique in inviting local chapters to participate in the agenda-setting process. Each RCC selects its own conservation goals for its entire RCC and these goals are included in the Conservation Action Agenda. Visit fl.audubon.org to see this year’s goals.
