The Governing Board of the Northwest Florida Water Management District named the Wakulla Springs Alliance the 2019 recipient of the “Springs Champion” award.

The award is presented annually to recognize individuals or groups who make significant contributions toward the restoration and protection of the springs in northwest Florida.

“The Wakulla Springs Alliance focuses its efforts on shining a light on one of the most beautiful springs in the world,” said George Roberts, Chairman of the Governing Board of the Northwest Florida Water Management District. “I appreciate the meaningful partnership that has been developed between the District and the Alliance as we all do our part to follow the vision and leadership of Governor DeSantis, the Florida legislature, and DEP Secretary Valenstein to protect and preserve Wakulla Spring. The Alliance’s enormous efforts to build community support for restoration and protection efforts within the Wakulla Spring watershed cannot be understated.”
