Week of Gratitude: Celebrating the People Who Help Protect Wild Florida
With Thanksgiving approaching this week, we’re celebrating the gratitude we feel all year round for our beautiful, one-of-a-kind home … and all those we share it with. Since opening our doors, we’ve now conserved nearly 45,000 acres from Pensacola to the Florida Keys.
But one thing’s for sure: We could not do this conservation work alone.
Protecting the places that make Florida Florida takes all of us. The prairies and pine flatwoods, the winding rivers and beautiful beaches. Room for our prowling panthers and beloved scrub jays.
During our Week of Gratitude, we’re celebrating the people who make this conservation work possible!
To Our Landowners:
You’re leaving the ultimate legacy.
Whether you’re safeguarding working lands, preserving sensitive ecosystems, ensuring wildlife have room to roam, or leaving a legacy for your family, your decision to conserve your property is a gift to all Floridians.
To Our Donors:
You fuel every acre we protect.
Your generosity turns opportunities into real land saved. And not just saved but stewarded forever and safeguarded for future generations. Whether you’ve given once or given annually and joined Club 1845, we’re so grateful.
To Our Volunteers:
You remind us that conservation is a work of heart.
From building trails at D Ranch Preserve to joining bioblitzes at Bellini Preserve to lending your time at community events, you show up. Florida is better because of your commitment, curiosity, and willingness to get a little dirty for a great cause. Thank you for your hard work to care for this place we all love so much.
To Our Partners
Your collaboration multiplies our conservation impact.
Our work is strengthened by incredible partners! From local and statewide governments to foundations, businesses, and fellow nonprofits - none of our permanent conservation work would be possible without the support of our partners. We believe in the power of partnerships. Here’s to many more acres saved!
While Florida is special in too many ways to count, we believe all of you are the very best part. Thank you for your support, big or small, today & every day. We couldn’t do this work without you!
Happy Thanksgiving!
