Brief History  

FAVOR – Friends And Volunteers Of Refuges – Florida Keys was founded in 1997 by a group of 150 local citizens who were concerned about the care of, and funding for, the National Wildlife Refuges of the Florida Keys. In the past 20 years FAVOR has been an integral partner with the Refuges providing volunteers and funding for projects in all of the refuges.
 
In 2017, in celebration of the 20th anniversary, FAVOR became the Florida Keys Wildlife Society to more easily explain our role in the support of the Wildlife of the Florida Keys.
