Conservation Florida

Conservation Florida is an accredited, nonprofit land conservancy dedicated to conserving the Sunshine State’s water, wildlife, wild places, and connecting a functional Florida Wildlife Corridor. Since its founding in 1999, Conservation Florida has saved more than 35,000 acres, serving all 67 counties in Florida, by prioritizing strategic and evidence-based land protection, education, and advocacy.

Florida is one of the fastest growing states in the nation. Each year, the state loses 100,000 acres of natural and rural land. With this comes a greater demand for water and the development of rural and natural lands for urban use.

Our vision is a florida where protected lands achieve the following goals:

• Permanently connect and conserve a functional Florida Wildlife Corridor
• Support healthy populations of native plants and wildlife
• Provide places to recreate and connect with nature
• Contribute to a strong economy
• Support the success of working family farms and ranches
• Replenish and safeguard Florida’s freshwater supply

We save land by facilitating, purchasing, or accepting donations of land and conservation easements, serving as a trusted community partner to support statewide land conservation, and through effective advocacy, education, and outreach programming.

Protecting wild places is the name of our game, but people and communities will always remain at the heart of what we do. Establishing relationships and partnerships based on a reputation of trust, results, and excellence is core to our mission. Thank you for joining us as we protect the places we cannot afford to lose.
