Since our inception in 2010, the Howard T. Odum Florida Springs Institute has been dedicated to educating the public about Florida springs through our many programs, learning tools, and events. In 2013 the Florida Spring Institute incorporated as a 501(c)(3) private non-profit. One of our biggest assets is our North Florida Springs Environmental Center (NFSEC), which was created to showcase the fascinating aspects of Florida spring ecosystems and to help answer your springs questions. We are currently working on opening a state-wide springs education center in Silver Springs State Park. Want to schedule a tour, presentation, or event for your group or class? Click Here!
