Thank you for 20 amazing years of land protection!

Happy anniversary, friends!

As Conservation Florida turns 20, please join us in honoring everyone who has supported this organization and its important mission over the last two decades. Thank you to all our past, present, and future partners, board members, advisory board members, staff, volunteers, and donors!

Conservation Florida started with the bold vision of our passionate founder. David Carr saw the need for a statewide land conservation group and took it upon himself to start one. Like so many good ideas, his vision took shape during discussions among friends around a kitchen table.

At the turn of the millennium, our founders gathered in the small town of Micanopy to launch a new nonprofit dedicated to protecting Florida’s magnificent landscapes, rural farmlands, and life-sustaining ecosystems for future generations.

Florida’s conservation future is uncertain, but in the face of what may seem like impossible challenges, we see opportunities. This milestone anniversary brings with it new energy to make the last great push for meaningful and lasting conservation in Florida.

You are a part of our success. You are part of our conservation community, and you are cordially invited to join us in celebrating Conservation Florida’s 20th anniversary!
