A Partnership between Audubon
of Florida and The
Ginn Company
Audubon
of Florida has been patrolling and protecting important
bird habitats, conducting scientific research, managing
more than 70,000 acres of sanctuaries, and influencing
landmark legislation in Florida since 1900. Through
the years Audubon of Florida has grown into the most
comprehensive conservation program of any non-profit
environmental organization in the state.
The
Ginn Company is a private real estate development
and management firm that has built a reputation for
creating quality leisure lifestyle and resort communities
in the Southeast. They have now set the standard in
Florida Bald Eagle protection at their Tesoro
community of luxury homes in Port St. Lucie.
In December 2003, The Ginn Company discovered an eagle’s
nest with two fledglings on the Tesoro property. They
then went above and beyond regulations by removing 38
nearby residential lots from sale and redesigning the
entire east side of the development. Because of The
Ginn Company’s actions, the eagles were able to raise
their fledglings to independence and this past nesting
season the eagles raised a second pair!
Under this exciting partnership, Friends of the Eagle,
Audubon and The Ginn Company have joined in an educational
campaign to inform the public of the need to protect
the Bald Eagle and its habitat, and to show citizens
throughout Florida and the nation what they can do to
help protect this magnificent bird so that it is always
a part of our nation’s future.
