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 17th as we acknowledge the 2018 Conservation Stewards, Michael Drummond and the late John Hankinson, Jr.

This year, we are celebrating three decades of conservation success – with your support, we’re bringing about a healthier and more sustainable future for our community. Since its incorporation in 1988, Alachua Conservation Trust has helped preserve more than 50,000 acres of land in north central Florida, directly participating in the purchase of 19,000 of those acres.

The Conservation Stewards Awards is one of the largest gatherings of community leaders and conservationists in the region, and features a cocktail hour, dinner, awards ceremony and live music. You do not want to miss Florida’s biggest conservation event of the year.

The festivities kick-off with a social hour beginning at 5:30 pm. It will be followed by a local foods dinner and the awards ceremony. We will wrap up the evening with a live performance by McWeeds O’ Eden.
