Saving Land.

We’re protecting Florida’s natural and agricultural landscapes for future generations. Land conservation safeguards water, protects our native plants and animals, provides places to get outside and enjoy nature, adds to our strong economy, and so much more.

Conserving Florida.

As the demand and urgency grows to protect Florida’s irreplaceable wild and agricultural lands, we are ramping up our pace. We are now leading conservation projects on over 100,000 acres across Florida.

Protecting the Florida Wildlife Corridor.

We are a statewide land conservancy with a primary focus on connecting and protecting the Florida Wildlife Corridor, from Pensacola to the Florida Keys.

 
 
 

our story

Conservation Florida is grounded by a deep love for Florida and a history of impactful boots-on-the-ground land conservation working statewide to conserve natural and agricultural lands. We protect Florida’s landscapes — our wild places, native plants and wildlife, and water — for nature and people alike.
