About the Center
The Center for Landscape Conservation Planning (CLCP) was established in 2010 to provide an official forum within the University of Florida’s College of Design, Construction and Planning for conducting applied research on the relationship between conservation and land use. The Center is affiliated with the Department of Landscape Architecture, forming a bridge between the disciplines of design, planning and wildlife conservation.
Our Commitment to Students and Furthering Education
In addition to conducting applied research on the relationship between conservation and land use, the Center for Landscape Conservation Planning provides learning opportunities for students.
Results of the center’s research are used to influence public policy through education and direct involvement in the application of relevant science, technology, sound planning principles, and state-of-the-art methods of conservation analysis, planning and management.
