Florida Forever Conservation Photography Calendar

This sixteen-month wall calendar features the work of some of Florida’s most beloved nature photographers.

For more than two decades, Florida Forever has been preserving natural Florida by purchasing and saving from developers individual parcels of land. Yet nearly three million acres of sensitive land and water have been identified that are still in desperate need of protection. But in these troubled economic times, continuing support from the state is in jeopardy.

This year, Florida’s leading conservation photographers have donated their time and efforts to contribute to a calendar that features some of these treasure places..  Each month in this beautiful calendar features a photograph of a high-priority landscape that is in danger of being bulldozed by developers.

The lenses of Clyde Butcher, James Valentine, Jeff Ripple, John Moran, Carlton Ward Jr., Connie Bransilver, Eric Zamora, and others reveal stunning vistas, endangered shorelines, and forests that could all-too-easily be replaced by houses, shopping malls, restaurants, and asphalt parking lots. -Legacy Institute for Nature & Culture
