Conservation Florida, a nonprofit land conservancy, is expanding its land protection team and its ability to serve more landowners throughout the state of Florida, with a focus on saving natural and agricultural land in the Florida Wildlife Corridor.

Since our founding in 1999, Conservation Florida has led the way in strategic and evidence-based land protection. Our vision for the future is large-scale, and we are 100% committed to conservation in the state of Florida – for nature, for people, forever!

It has been an incredible year for land conservation. Read about our ongoing work that your support makes possible. From the Panhandle to the Everglades, we are protecting some of the rarest and most biodiverse places on Earth!

We know that the time for land protection is now. As Florida grows by nearly 1,000 newcomers each day, we’re projected to exceed 30 million residents by 2060. With this comes a greater demand for water and the development of rural and natural lands for urban use. We know that both our economy and our health are rooted in our environment. It’s why I am a big believer that conservation is for everyone and unifies us as Floridians.

Protecting wild places is our mission, but people and communities will always remain at the heart of what we do. We establish relationships and partnerships based on a reputation of trust, results, and excellence.

Once a historic cattle ranch, D Ranch Preserve is now a haven for wildlife. Thanks to a generous donation, Conservation Florida owns the 476-acre preserve in Volusia County and has completed a plan for its future and the restoration of its important native habitats.

In addition to its core land protection services, Conservation Florida’s staff will contribute communication and fundraising expertise to the partnership. Wildlands Conservation will pitch in with environmental education and applied conservation research expertise to round out the partnership.
