Land conservation offers corporate sustainability leaders, climate-focused philanthropists, and nonprofits a rare opportunity: a climate solution that is both widely popular and an outlet for meaningful community engagement. However, this also requires understanding how to build durable, diversified funding for land stewardship — and how to maintain coalitions of ranchers, agencies, funders, and businesses around a shared landscape over the long term.

The Florida Wildlife Corridor offers a proving ground: a nearly 18-million-acre framework with bipartisan support and a working coalition that is leveraging innovative financing mechanisms and local storytelling to navigate these questions and more. The model provides organizations, funders, and leaders across a range of geographies and settings with a useful reference point — rich with insights and transferable wisdom for the field.

Join NationSwell and Live Wildly for an intimate braintrust to explore the role land conservation plays as a win-win climate solution, trade hard-won lessons on conservation finance, and to explore ways to replicate and scale the Florida Wildlife Corridor model across the country.
