Thank you for supporting the Center!
Today is *Gator Nation Giving Day*—a 24-hour sprint when Gators everywhere (and even non-Gators!) come together to support the causes that matter most to them being advanced at the University of Florida. At the UF Center for Landscape Conservation Planning, we are proud to work with partners in leading the charge to protect the natural places, working lands, and vibrant communities that define our state.
From developing science-based tools to protect the Florida Wildlife Corridor to advancing resilient community design, our progress is fueled by our colleagues, students, and supporters.
The Power of Your Support:
Many are surprised to learn that *while we are housed at UF, our work is sustained almost entirely by external support and donors like you.* Every map we create, every partnership we build, and every student we mentor is a direct result of those who have chosen to support our work to invest in Florida’s future.
Your impact today directly fuels:
– The Florida Wildlife Corridor: Developing the science needed to protect the Corridor.
– Resilient Landscapes: Preserving rural lands and communities.
– The Next Generation: Mentoring the conservation professionals who will lead Florida tomorrow.
A gift today is more than a donation—it’s an investment in a sustainable Florida for generations to come. Whether it’s $5 or $500, your contribution helps us reach our goals during this 24-hour challenge!
