Are you passionate about protecting Florida’s environment, wildlife, or natural lands? Join the Florida Wildlife Corridor Foundation and support its mission to connect, protect, and restore the state’s natural ecosystems.

FGCU students have the opportunity to get involved with “Mind the Gaps” Workshops—regional events designed to identify and address critical gaps in the Florida Wildlife Corridor. These workshops bring together landowners, conservationists, policymakers, and other local stakeholders to develop real-world solutions to protect our state’s most threatened natural spaces.

🧠 What You’ll Gain:

• Insight into environmental policy, land conservation, and public advocacy

• Experience supporting collaborative workshops and stakeholder engagement

• Opportunities to network with professionals in environmental science, government, and nonprofit sectors

• A deeper understanding of regional conservation issues affecting Southwest Florida

🎓 This is a meaningful way to earn service-learning hours while contributing to one of the most important conservation efforts in the state.
