BROCHURE

It’s good to have Friends, and we hope you will become one of ours.

Our Friends stand for clean water, environmental protection, and a pristine coastline that supports recreational activities such as kayaking and birding as well as commercial endeavors like eco-tourism and fishing. So many of our Friends are drawn to Southwest Florida because of the beautiful and amazing environment, and they want to see it protected for generations to come. That’s why they – like you – invest in Friends of Rookery Bay, a 501(c)(3) Citizen Support Organization.

They say “Strangers are just Friends waiting to happen.” We look forward to having you as our Friend!
