Protected Places Near Home

With each passing season I come to more deeply appreciate the beauty of north Florida. And I am fortunate to serve on the board of the Alachua Conservation Trust, which (so far!) has preserved tens of thousands of acres in 16 Florida counties. Most of these images were taken on ACT preserves. The others are county, state or federal conservation areas in the region.
