Some Wild Updates AND… 😎 Sweater Weather Swag 😎       DONATE Welcome to November, Floridians. We made it. The weather is changing, the days are shortening, the holiday season is here – and most importantly…hurricane season is over! Today and every day, we are thankful for this community – for YOU. As Floridians, we celebrate together during our good days—and we rush in to help each other during our worst days. We are proud to call this state our home—and at Conservation Florida, we take our job to protect it very seriously. Conservation Florida is committed to keeping Florida uniquely wild. Our growing team is working on the protection of over 65 active projects totaling over 101,000 critical acres across the state. Recently our Crippen Ranch project made some big waves, and then we proudly announced the protection of Rucks Nursery. We won’t stop there – thanks to you and your continued support, more projects are coming to closure and we are excited to share those details very soon.  This year has given us reasons to celebrate, reasons to reflect, and reasons to work harder than ever before. We start every day with gratitude in our hearts for this community. For us, gratitude is not a season. It's the culture here at Conservation Florida. It’s part of who we are at our core and is woven into every aspect of our day. We’re most grateful for each of you, and this beautiful state we get to call home.  For Florida, Traci Deen President + CEO MERCHANDISE #WildFloridaTough with Conservation Florida Merch!
