Mission Statement: To acquire properties of environmental significance, restore those lands to their natural state and condition, manage them in an environmentally acceptable manner and provide public recreational opportunities that are compatible with protecting the natural resources.


Welcome to Conservation 20/20, a program jointly overseen by the  Lee County Division of County Lands and the Lee County Department of Parks & Recreation.

We invite you to discover the history of the program, and take an in-depth look at each of the preserves, including their land stewardship plans. Explore recreation opportunities and learn about habitat restoration.

Are you a landowner interested in our Willing Seller Acquisition Program? Get details about the application and review process. Please note that funding is limited. Nominations that comply with program goals will be placed on a list for purchase consideration pending availability of funds.

Check the Calendar for information on upcoming meetings, restoration projects and other Conservation 20/20 events. Our news section features current events, latest acquisitions and other information.
