Trump Admin Supports Everglades Restoration

The Trump administration is receiving praise from environmental and conservation groups for his FY2026 budget recommendation which allocates $446 million to restore America’s Everglades, the largest presidential budget recommendation for Everglades restoration.  

“This historic funding level reflects the President’s continued recognition of America’s Everglades as a national treasure — a one-of-a-kind national treasure that provides drinking water for millions of Floridians and fuels Florida’s billion-dollar tourism, fishing, and real estate industries,” said Eric Eikenberg, CEO, The Everglades Foundation.

If approved by Congress, this funding of $446 million will be crucial for completing restoration projects like the Everglades Agricultural Area (EAA) Reservoir, the crown jewel of Everglades restoration and the critical project to reconnect the flow of freshwater from the lake to the Everglades and down to Florida Bay. 

Eikenberg applauded the historical funding and gave credit to both sides of the aisle of the Florida Congressional delegation to secure this critical funding. 

In his first term, President Trump supported $200 million for the Everglades restoration work and signed an executive order to have the South Florida Ecosystem Restoration Task Force to implement and complete the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan (CERP).

Resident Trump supported funding in restoring the Everglades and projects like the EAA Reservoir and the C-44 Reservoir and Stormwater Treatment Area.
