Friends,

The last remaining private tract on one of Florida’s most important waterbird nesting islands is up for sale.

Help us help the birds by ensuring that Lanark Reef is protected forever: adopt a 10-square meter piece of this special place right now.

The Florida Panhandle’s Lanark Reef is avitally important nesting site for Brown Pelicans, American Oystercatchers, Black Skimmers and more. Reddish Egrets dance on the flats in late summer, and rare Red Knots and Piping Plovers call the Reef home all winter.

Buying the last remaining private parcel on this island and making it a sanctuary will make the threat of development a thing of the past. In partnership with state and federal resource managers, Audubon will also be able to better protect these vulnerable species from disturbance.

For a $100 contribution, you can adopt a 10-square meter piece of one of the most important bird areas in Florida. 

Audubon is working to make this acquisition a reality; you can help us protect and manage Lanark Reef as a sanctuary for birds.

Your gift will ensure a bright future for Lanark and its remarkable birdlife.

Please help us make the most of this rare opportunity. Lanark presents one of the last examples of what was once commonplace on Florida’s coasts: a dynamic barrier island, shaped by wind and tides, supporting a vibrant natural community of Florida’s signature wildlife - without a car or a condo to its name.

Sounds nice, doesn’t it? We think so too. 

Adopting part of Lanark as a tribute or memorial gift is a wonderful way to honor thenature-lovers in your life. Select this option on the contribute page and you will be able to send an electronic card on behalf of your loved one.

Please join us in committing to protect this important piece of Florida's natural heritage.

Thank you.
