Florida Wildlife Corridor Foundation

When picturing Florida, many minds are drawn to sunny skies and sandy beaches. But it's the swamp and scrublands in the state's interior that environmental advocates are looking to call attention to.

The first of many signs marking the Florida Wildlife Corridor was set in place on Saturday, Nov. 17, 2024, at the Fakachatchee Strand Preserve State Park. The sign designates an entrance to a Southwest Florida portion of the 18 million acres being preserved for animals to let people know they are also welcome to explore the growing state-long pathway
