North Florida Land Trust (NFLT) was founded on December 27, 1999, and is celebrating 25 years of conservation throughout 2024. Throughout its 25-year history, NFLT has remained steadfast in its focus on preserving the most ecologically, agriculturally, and historically significant lands in North Florida. NFLT has a service area of seven counties in the region–Nassau, Duval, Clay, St. Johns, Putnam, Baker, and Flagler–plus the Ocala to Osceola Wildlife Corridor (O2O) and the Corridor to Coast (C2C) expansion. In its 25 years of conservation NFLT has protected more than 40,000 acres including coastal salt marshes, pine forests, cypress swamps, and working lands, all of which play an integral role in our region’s remarkable array of ecosystems. Please join us on November 9 at Smith Lake Preserve, home to our stewardship team, and one of our properties located in the O2O when we will toast 25 years, have some BBQ, kick back with The Remedy Tree, and enjoy trail rides on our new trail buggy.
