Join us on Saturday, March 19, 2022, from 5:30-9:30 p.m. for the Annual Conservation Stewards Awards hosted by Alachua Conservation Trust.

This event 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. Past Conservation Stewards Awards have been some of the largest gatherings of community leaders and supporters of wild Florida in the region.

This year’s event will take place outdoors at Prairie Creek Lodge.

2022 CSA THEME

Our theme celebrates the legacies of Florida’s current generation of landowners and land stewards. Through their devotion to preserving the undeveloped land they own, they have ensured that Florida’s environment will remain wild for generations to come. These landowners have forged a deep connection to Florida’s grasslands, forests, rivers, springs, swamps, and creeks, and their decision to safeguard their land through conservation will have a profound impact that stretches beyond their lifetimes. Please join us in recognizing this year’s Conservation Stewards, and help us honor them for their invaluable contribution to protecting and preserving local lands.
