What We Do
Our mission is to protect Southwest Florida's unique natural environment and quality of life...now and forever.
Environmental Science
In the ever-shifting landscapes of Southwest Florida’s beaches, loggerhead turtles have emerged as symbols of resilience and adaptability. Despite the formidable challenges posed by Hurricane Ian, the 2023 nesting season on Keewaydin Island was a successful one.
TAKE ACTION
Protect the Panther Refuge from encroaching development
In Collier County, there are two important major corridors used by wildlife, especially large mammals such as the Florida panther. The proposed Bellmar development threatens to reduce the viability of one of these corridors. Click below to read more and to learn how you can help.

Environmental Education
What's new in EDU?
We all play a role in shaping the environmental health of Southwest Florida, and environmental education is key in helping us do so responsibly. The Conservancy’s environmental education team is active with all ages from pre-k through gray. From journeys in the water to experiences in our Nature Center, the education team has entered this season with new and updated programs for all.
Nature protects us
Here at the Conservancy of Southwest Florida, a simple truth has guided our actions for almost 60 years. It is an idea that serves as the foundation upon which all of our work is based: We protect nature. Nature protects us.
