Help Us Make a Difference for People and Nature in Florida
For more than 60 years, we have been working to conserve the lands and waters on which all life depends in Florida. We have helped protect more than 1.2 million acres of vulnerable lands and waters in Florida, and we own and manage more than 40,000 acres including four preserves that are open to the public. Led by science and data, we are building coalitions and constituencies, demonstrating leadership and influencing policy across the state.

More About Florida
Florida State Parks in Peril
The Florida Department of Environmental Protection revealed plans to build 350-room hotels, golf courses, pickle ball courts on 26 Florida State Parks. The Nature Conservancy opposes this initiative.
Florida Coastal Resilience
Natural structures like marshes, mangrove stands, coral reefs and oyster reefs can help protect Florida's coastline from storm surge and sea-level rise.
Restoring Fire to Florida’s Native Landscapes
With some Florida habitats needing regular intervals of fire, we carefully conduct controlled burns to safeguard the long-term survival of these places.
Restoring Florida’s Oyster Reefs
Oysters are vital in filtering Florida’s water and stabilizing coastlines. But as oyster reefs are now imperiled, they need a boost from our help.
