Critical Wildlife Corridor Protected for the Florida Panther
A tract of land critical for wildlife passage and the natural recovery of the Florida panther was just purchased and protected by a collaborative public and private partnership. The land tract is a 1,278-acre property along the Caloosahatchee River in Glades County, Florida. “NRCS is proud to be a part of this cooperative effort that will restore vital wetlands and protect critical habitat for the Florida panther forever, Dave White, Chief of NRCS said. “These lands represent an extraordinary expansion of habitat and we are grateful for the collaborative work of The Nature Conservancy, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and other partners. By working together, we can put conservation on the ground at a rate none of us could achieve alone.” Read the full story here. Photo credit Connie Bransilver.
