LAKELAND, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Audubon Florida named Publix Super Markets its Distinguished Philanthropist Award recipient for 2022 at a ceremony in Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary Dec. 2.

About Publix’s support

Last year, Publix announced plans to support the removal of nuisance trees and plants in the Florida Everglades. Part of these efforts included a donation to the National Audubon Society over five years for the removal of these nuisance species across 500 acres of Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary in the western Everglades. Restoration improves habitats for native species and provides benefits for surrounding communities.
