Florida's Annual Gopher Tortoise Day is April 10 (Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission)

FLORIDA – Florida’s Annual Gopher Day is April 10. Individuals and organizations can support gopher tortoise conservation by contacting their local government and asking them to adopt a resolution proclaiming April 10 as Gopher Tortoise Day.

Help raise awareness about the role gopher tortoises play in Florida ecosystems and show your support for this threatened keystone species.

For a sample resolution that can be easily modified to fit the needs of your local government please visit: https://gophertortoisedayfl.com/resolution/.

Local governments are not the only entity that can adopt a resolution. Zoos, businesses, nature centers, schools, universities, and others are all invited to adopt a resolution that recognizes April 10 as Gopher Tortoise Day.
