The Conservancy of Southwest Florida was founded in 1964 by a small group of concerned citizens fighting to protect the beauty of our region. Today it has grown to be one of Florida's largest and most respected environmental organizations.

Our Mission:
To protect Southwest Florida's unique natural environment and quality of life...now and forever.

Our Vision:
We envision a region where our land, water and wildlife are protected, our citizens are informed and our leaders make decisions with the health, wellness and sustainability of our region in mind. We seek to increase our knowledge of the natural world through continued scientific research and to increase our impact through collaboration with our partners. We work to protect a high quality of life for both our current residents and generations to come.

Where we are:
The Conservancy of Southwest Florida is located at 1450 Merrihue Drive in Naples, Florida. We are just off 14th Avenue North and Goodlette-Frank Road.

The Conservancy Nature Center includes butterfly and birding trails, kayak rentals, guided electric boat tours, a Discovery Center, Nature Store, Wildlife Rehabilitation Center, and is site #69 of the Great Florida Birding Trail.
