Program areas at CTF

From the Florida Panhandle to the Florida Keys, our Projects are shaping Florida's conservation future and connecting the Florida Wildlife Corridor. The large, statewide projects we target have global significance and will help protect some of the rarest habitats and species in the world. Land Protection Program - Conservation Florida's Land PROTECTION Program protects lands with natural, agricultural, and community conservation values. Our work creates, expands, and links conservation lands. We focus on projects that provide habitat for the survival of Florida's iconic species, recharge drinking water or benefit other hydrologic functions, offer outdoor recreation, and other community benefits. We also help landowners with working ranches, farms and timberlands to keep their land in production for generations to come. We work statewide to serve communities that are not served or are underserved by local land conservation organizations. We have expanded our service areas to reflect our statewide, landscape-scale approach to conservation.
Advocacy, education and outreach program our education, events, and advocacy efforts are aimed at supporting our vision of a Florida where protected lands: - form a statewide conservation corridor - support healthy populations of native plants and wildlife - provide places to recreate and connect with nature - contribute to a strong economy - support the success of working family farms and ranches - replenish and safeguard Florida's freshwater supply designed to promote land conservation through effective education and advocacy, conservation Florida hosts an annual BioBlitz, a citizen science event in which participants log hundreds to thousands of observations. From black bear footprints to native wildflowers, participants ages 18-months to 85 years document an abundance of wildlife on expert-led hikes. Conservation Florida also hosts several educational series throughout the state (or online) in partnership with other entities to educate and inspire communities to support land conservation initiatives. Furthermore, conservation Florida continues to prioritize collaboration, working with a wide array of partners to support statewide land conservation. We continued to advocate for meaningful and consistent funding for land conservation at the state and national levels, meeting with policy and change makers to promote the importance of land protection in Florida.
