We had a great time participating in the Florida Wildlife Corridor Foundation’s “Mind the Gap” meeting for the Space Coast! Dan Smith spoke on a panel as a wildlife crossings expert, and Isabella Guttuso Browne shared our center’s EcoCon tool. As with all the Mind the Gap meetings, this was a wonderful opportunity to connect and collaborate with those working toward the protection of our most eastern reaching portion of the Florida Wildlife Corridor.

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!
