Archbold Biological Station is a nonprofit environmental research organization that functions as a natural laboratory on more than 20,000 acres in the Headwaters of the Everglades. Based in Venus, Florida, it was founded in 1941 to advance science, conservation, and education, and its mission is to generate and share knowledge to protect the life, lands, and waters of Florida and beyond. The station operates seven ecological research programs, and its work is relied upon to inform conservation of species and natural systems in Florida. The organization serves researchers, conservationists, land and water managers, educators, and the broader environmental community seeking rigorous data to guide preservation and resource management decisions. In 2026, Archbold announced a new organizational structure and appointed Betsey Boughton as Director of Science, signaling governance changes alongside ongoing research. Earlier collaborations include a 2023 partnership with the University of Florida to examine how the Florida Wildlife Corridor influences water resources.
