We envision a future where the human and natural worlds of Southwest Florida flourish together. Conservation Foundation of the Gulf Coast works with you to save land, forever, preserving those special natural lands that shape our cultural heritage, make our region extraordinary, and our quality of life superb. We partner with landowners, businesses, and government to preserve the environmental excellence of our lands and waters in Manatee, Sarasota, Charlotte, Lee, and Collier Counties. By saving land forever, we protect wild places for kids and grown-ups, for wildlife and waterways. And we can't do it without you. Together, we protect those places that make a difference in our lives – giving us clean water to drink, protected habitat for plants and animals, beautiful natural places to enjoy, great spots to hike and fish, a world class shoreline, and a reason to live, work and play here on Florida’s Gulf Coast.
