WE ARE YOUR COMMUNITY FOUNDATION.

Central Florida Foundation stewards philanthropic dollars on behalf of individuals, families and nonprofits. We partner with people who are determined to make a difference in their community. Knowing that true change demands more than dollars and cents, we foster collaboration, fuel ideas, and spearhead the innovation that will transform our region for good.

Making a difference

FIRST YOU TALK PODCAST

16. Conserving Wild Florida

Conservation is a word we all grew up knowing, but what does it really mean and how does it relate to other big topics we’ve discussed on the podcast?

Lean into a conversation that covers an array of conservation issues and projects, from Eastern Indigo snakes and land acquisition to Florida’s aquifer and efforts to create a Florida Wildlife Corridor, this episode will bring clarity to an overwhelming word, equipping you to talk knowledgably on the topics and engage in additional learning if something piques your interest.
