Pledge Summary

The Town of Davie, which has a population of over 105,000 is a unique blend of equestrian homesites, a rodeo arena that hosts national events, boarding facilities and a western themed downtown with major corridors developed to accommodate the needs of our residents. We have an educational center that houses Nova Southeastern University, the University of Florida, FAU, FIU and Broward college. Our dedication to open space and environmental protection is seen throughout the town. We have close to 2,000 acres of open space and are in the stages of planning two more passive parks: The Davie Wetlands Preserve (150 acres) and the Davie Farm Park (84 acres dedicated to teaching about our agricultural heritage). We are a certified Naturescape and Wildlife Habitat community and have been a Tree City USA for at least 20 years. Our 170 miles of equestrian and nature trails transverse our town's 35 square miles. We have butterfly gardens throughout our parks, at Bob Roth's New River Groves, Marando Farms, in our community gardens, at our schools and at town hall that are planted and tended to by the Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts, 4H clubs, and students as well as our Women's clubs and a myriad of residents. Our Agricultural and Environmental Advisory Board assists in making recommendations and keeping us on track. Personally, I have an abundance of milkweed in my pasture and I enjoy watching the Monarchs prosper along with at least six other butterfly species. I tend each chrysalis and enjoy watching the emergence of our little miracles.
