DUE TO CONCERNS ABOUT THE SPREAD OF COVID-19 IN THE COMMUNITY, THIS EVENT HAS BEEN POSTPONED UNTIL A LATER DATE.

Please check back for additional details about the new event date.

Each year, Alachua Conservation Trust honors individuals in our community who are influential in a wide variety of ways - the arts, historic preservation, and particularly, in protecting our wildlife and natural resources. Please join us at Prairie Creek Lodge on Saturday, March 14th.

The Conservation Stewards Awards is one of the largest gatherings of community leaders and conservationists in the region. This year’s event will feature a cocktail hour, dinner, awards ceremony and live music from The Savants of Soul. You don't want to miss Florida's biggest conservation event of the year!

GROWING UP FLORIDA WILD

This year, our theme celebrates the deep connection we all have to Florida’s natural places and ACT’s mission to protect the lands that mean so much to our community. The wild spaces we grew up in continue to follow us and are an integral part of who we are. They impact us. They teach us. We are rooted in these spaces and they continue to inspire us to do the important work needed to protect them. “Growing Up Florida Wild” is about the experiences and places that have shaped us all and cultivated our passion for saving these lands for future generations. Each and every one of our conservation properties has a story and people behind it that make it special. Our theme works to emphasize the personal story that comes with each place and how our combined efforts will ensure that everyone has a chance to grow up Florida wild.
