The Alligator Farm Foundation is pleased to support Matanzas Riverkeeper in its efforts to conserve our local waterways.

Matanzas Riverkeeper is a grassroots, nonprofit organization dedicated to ensuring the Guana, Tolomato, and Matanzas Rivers remain clean and healthy through their commitment to drinkable, fishable, and swimmable water. These waterways are home to American alligators and wading birds, both prominent species represented within our park.
