The week leading up to Valentine’s Day, team Conservation Florida asked fellow Floridians to use the hashtag #ILoveWildFlorida and share the special reasons they love wild Florida on Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter. 

In addition to encouraging followers to show appreciation for Wild Florida online and offline, one lucky winner was chosen to receive Conservation Florida merchandise. 

I love Wild Florida simply because it exists,” said the contest winner on Instagram. “On every trail, at every park there is always something that takes my breath away and I am filled with gratitude for the conservation efforts that help keep Florida Wild.

This Valentine’s Day, it is abundantly clear how much the wild beauty of our fabulous state is loved by its inhabitants. As a statewide accredited land trust working to protect Florida's natural and agricultural landscapes for future generations, the love you share fuels our drive to accomplish this mission! 

“With all of the changes I’ve seen…I’m grateful parts of Wild Florida are still here,” said another participant of the contest.

Thank you for using your voice to speak up for conservation and inspiring the Conservation Florida team to work harder than ever to protect the wild Florida we all know and love.
