Last week, Mike Volk and Isabella Guttuso Browne presented at the UF IFAS Urban Land Summit, focusing on a key question facing Florida:
How do we accommodate continued growth while preserving our regional to local corridors and greenways and other important natural places —and in doing so, support more resilient and livable communities for people?
It was a great opportunity to share perspectives on the role of landscape planning and design, green infrastructure, and conservation networks in shaping how Florida grows. We’re grateful to IFAS for the invitation and for bringing together a great group of practitioners and researchers working across the state.
We look forward to continuing the conversation on how we balance growth, connectivity, and resilience for Florida’s future!

A huge THANK YOU to the #LynxBookstore for a fabulous event! "A Sense of Place" was an evening of poetry and place-based imagination organized in conjunction with the _Wild Waters_ exhibition of Florida landscape paintings at the Governor’s House Cultural Center and Museum in St. Augustine, sponsored by our Center and the Harn Museum of Art.
Gabriele Belletti and a small group of UF students from “Poetry and Nature” (French program) shared short ecopoetic readings and presented excerpts from SHINE, an interdisciplinary project that brings together environmental humanities and immersive 3D representations of Florida’s springs. The event concluded with a brief, audience-friendly writing prompt followed by informal conversation.
We wanted to share this poem by Delaney Johnson and accompanying video by Jennifer Purington, a project supported by SHINE.
Participating students in the live event: Isabella Castro, Kaleb Ejigbile, Nur Jacic, Selome Medemaku, Briana Mendez, and Siena Zicchinella.
