Together, let’s keep Gaining Ground.
Every land trust is as unique as the community it serves.

Partnership for Gulf Coast Land Conservation
There has been a 14% increase in Florida land protected by land trusts since 2010.
Acre by acre, land trusts are helping to conserve Florida lands, waters and ways of life.
Disclaimer: Land trusts conserve land in many different ways and every project is unique. Category totals may change depending on how acres are reported by survey respondents to reflect the most current data and minimize double-counting. In some instances, the total may be greater than the sum of the separate categories due to organizations that provided total acres not broken down by category.
This information reflects data collected in the National Land Trust Census, the longest-running comprehensive survey of private land conservation in America. Learn more about the Census and see which land trusts participated in the 2020 National Land Trust Census.
