Come see our own @Asena Goren speak at the Water, Wetlands & Watersheds Seminar this week, or check out the livestream before or after! UF Howard T. Odum Center for Wetlands UF College of Design, Construction and Planning UF ResearchHow can we prioritize conserving and connecting lands across Florida?
This Wednesday at 11:45 AM, Asena Goren, Ph.D., a postdoctoral research associate at UF Center for Landscape Conservation Planning, will highlight the Florida Ecological Greenways Network — a database that identifies and prioritizes a connected system of public and private lands — and the Florida Wildlife Corridor, an 18-million-acre system of connected landscapes spanning the state. Her talk will explore how these efforts help identify critical water assets that overlap with conservation priorities, and how permanent conservation of remaining opportunity areas can enhance protection of critical water resources while strengthening flood mitigation, water storage and water quality.

We’re thrilled to share a first look at our new ESRI StoryMaps series! We’re bridging the gap between complex corridor science and public action by telling the story of Florida’s 10 Critical Linkages.
These are the "Priority One" unprotected lands of the Florida Ecological Greenways Network (FEGN), the foundation of the Florida Wildlife Corridor.
Our StoryMaps feature:
– Science-backed data on threats and opportunities.
– Stunning digital murals by artist Kelly Quinn (Canvas of the Wild), bringing the ecological and cultural history of these lands to life.
– Interactive maps to help you visualize the landscape-scale conservation happening in your backyard.
3 down, 7 to go!
