🌎💚 Happy Earth Day from SJRWMD!

Today is a reminder to appreciate and protect the natural resources that make Florida so special — our rivers, springs, wetlands, forests, and wildlife habitats.

At the St. Johns River Water Management District, we work every day to help protect water resources and conserve the lands that support them. One of the best ways to celebrate Earth Day? Get outside and experience nature for yourself.

✨ Explore one of our 42 public properties across 18 counties — with free access to hiking, paddling, wildlife viewing, biking, fishing, and more.

Because when people connect with nature, they’re inspired to protect it. 💧🌿

👃 A manatee snoot to help you get through your day

Just a gentle reminder from one of Florida’s most peaceful creatures 💙

That snoot isn’t just cute—it’s covered in sensitive whiskers that help manatees find food and navigate their environment every day. 🌿

Protecting clean, healthy water helps make moments like this possible. 💧

🐊 Just how many alligators are in Florida?

Believe it or not, Florida is home to about 1.3 MILLION alligators—and they can be found in every county across the state.

💧 Here in the District, our conservation lands and water management efforts help support the habitats that alligators—and countless other species—depend on.

👀 Reminder:
• Keep a safe distance
• Never feed wildlife
• Respect their natural habitat

➡️ Living with wildlife is part of what makes Florida unique—and protecting these ecosystems ensures they thrive for generations to come.
