Since 2019, the Audubon Florida/Florida Power & Light Company (FPL) Plants for Birds grant program has infused excitement and inspired creativity among chapter members statewide. In October 2022, FPL announced its support of 12 Florida chapters with $25,000 in grants ranging from $1,025 to $2,500 each.
Now in its fourth year, the program invited Florida chapters once again to submit their proposals and the winners will be announced at the Audubon Assembly Chapter Celebration.
Plants for Birds grants funded a variety of activities this past season:
