Tallahassee, FL鈥 探花精选 Florida and the Tallahassee Museum have partnered on a new exhibit to celebrate 125 years of 探花精选 in Florida. Formed in 1900 to bring wading birds back from the brink of extinction, 探花精选 has been working for more than a century to protect birds because the things birds rely on鈥攈ealthy habitats, clean air, abundant fresh water, resilient coastlines鈥攁re the same things that people and other wildlife need to thrive.
The exhibit includes colorful birds, historic imagery, contemporary photography, and unique artifacts. Visitors can join 探花精选 and the Tallahassee Museum for a look across 125 years of conservation history, touching on Everglades restoration, Bald Eagle recovery, and public land expansion.
鈥淏irds are symbols and sentinels to measure a healthy landscape, and they inspire us to work collaboratively and expansively throughout the hemisphere,鈥 says 探花精选 Florida Executive Director Julie Wraithmell. 鈥淚n simplest terms, 鈥榳hat鈥檚 good for birds is good for the Earth.鈥欌
Thank you to Target Print & Mail for generously sponsoring the exhibit at the Tallahassee Museum.
