We now have an opportunity to purchase another undeveloped parcel in a Florida Scrub-jay/Gopher Tortoise Neighborhood of North Port off of Ponce DeLeon Blvd. for $5,000 that has an active gopher tortoise burrow on it (exact location not published for seller privacy).
Pick a square that matches a donation amount of your choice ($500; $250; $100; $50; $25, or any increment thereof) and join our collective effort to permanently conserve this important habitat.
Once we fill the card, we'll make the purchase, and local nature wins! All donors will be invited to view the lot once we own it to see in person what we collectively conserved.
Each parcel of land on this example street in North Port is individually owned and subject to being completely clear-cut for residential development under the City's current tree ordinance, removing vital habitat for our wildlife and erasing our tree canopy and native plant life. Most of North Port's surrounding areas such as Port Charlotte, Harbor Heights and Englewood also consist of streets/neighborhoods like this one.
Collectively with the support of concerned citizens we can acquire and conserve land in our neighborhoods in its natural state forever, thereby creating a balance between development and the environment for the benefit of all living things.
Join our effort by donating today.
