Protected Lands

Advocacy

The Indian River Land Trust advocates for key conservation issues important to Indian River County and the protection of its land and water resources. In 2014, the Indian River Land Trust endorsed a successful effort for a Florida constitutional amendment to create stable, long-term funding for conservation programs like Florida Forever and Everglades restoration, ensuring that we safeguard our most treasured waters and lands for future generations. In 2022, the Land Trust is spearheading an effort with other county environmental groups to promote a $50 million local bond referendum to preserve and protect environmental important land and water resources across the county (www.ircforever.com).

Additionally, the Land Trust is an integral part of the Alliance of Florida Land Trusts (www.allianceoffloridalandtrusts.com), a coalition of Florida land trusts working together to maximize our impact on land protection in each of our regions across the state.

To protect, improve, provide access to, and promote the preservation of waterways, open spaces, and green places in Indian River County for the benefit of all today and tomorrow.

The Indian River Land Trust is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization.

I see an America whose rivers and valleys and lakes - hills and streams and plains - the mountains over our land and nature's wealth deep under the earth - are protected as the rightful heritage of all the people. - Franklin D. Roosevelt
