Live Wildly: A Florida Immersive on Ecology, Economy, and Place

Hosted by Live Wildly Foundation

Immersive Experience | Lake Wales, FL
Tuesday, November 10, 2026 – Wednesday, November 11, 2026

About

Across the Florida Wildlife Corridor — nearly 18 million acres of connected wild and working lands — something is taking shape that reframes what conservation can be. To Live Wildly, conservation isn’t the finish line; it’s the foundation. Where traditional approaches treat protected land as an endpoint, Live Wildly treats it as the starting point for thriving communities and durable economies rooted in place.

That’s the proof point at the heart of this gathering, and it speaks to anyone working at the intersection of strategy, growth, and impact: lead with the land, honor the ecology and the people who steward it, and innovation and economic vitality follow. Not as a trade-off, but as a return.

Join an intimate, curated group of senior leaders for a two-day immersive on private and protected Florida lands. You’ll move between field and conversation, hear directly from the landowners and practitioners living this work, and engage with peers across business, philanthropy, conservation, and policy. Together, you’ll see what thriving looks like when nature and economic vitality are held in balance.

Travel Dates to Note:
Please plan to be in Lake Wales, FL from November 9–12. Programming runs November 10–11; the ranch is about 2 hours from Orlando International Airport (MCO), so we recommend arriving early enough to account for travel time and ensure you can attend all programming.
