North Florida Land Trust, Jacksonville, FL

We have a weekly Realtor meeting at the Beaches here in Jacksonville, FL. Since we meet weekly, it's a tight knit group, which makes it a lot of fun.

Our speaker today represented the North Florida Land Trust, which protects and preserves land in seven counties throughout Northeast Florida.

I've been kayaking with this same speaker, and we went early April last year, when the birds were just getting active in the marsh. We saw so many birds, and such a variety, it really reminded me how important it is to conserve some green space for all to enjoy.

If you have a preservation-minded individual, who would like to preserve family land or consider a conservation easement, please contact Bonnie Barnes at the NFLT.
