Spotlight on Alachua Conservation Trust: 20 Years of Working to Protect Wildlife Habitat and Still Going Strong
The Alachua Land Conservation Trust makes news during its twenty-first year by acquiring yet another large parcel serving as vital widlife habitat and protecting connectivity among the Payne's Prairie, Prairie Creek and Newman's lake areas.
A recent article in the Gainesville Sun highlights the important work of the Alachua Conservation Trust, after its most recent purchase of a fifty-acre parcel to complete a contiguous 368-acre preserve. The parcel fills a gap in an area of crucial habitat and completes a wildlife corridor beneficial to many species native to the area, including the Florida Black Bear. This parcel represents just a small part of the roughly 14,000 acres the trust has worked to protect over the years, through public land purchases and conservation easements. The trust has made great strides in land management and habitat restoration as well, and stands positioned to accomplish much more for the area's vital wildlife habitat.
