The Bay
County Conservancy (BCC)
is a land trust dedicated to the
preservation of environmentally sensitive lands in Northwest Florida.
BCC is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization and a member of the national
Land Trust Alliance. Our goal is to acquire land that will enhance
the present and future natural resources of this area. With our
rapid growth rate these lands and natural resources are under constant
pressure and threat of development.
Environmentally important land areas, such
as endangered wetlands, will be purchased or accepted as tax-exempt donations.
Land can also be preserved through conservation easements. An easement is
a contract between a landowner and the Bay County Conservancy that protects
certain natural resources of the land while leaving the landowner in possession
and some use of the land.
Such land areas provide many benefits:
wildlife habitat
stormwater retention
aquifer recharge
air cleansing
recreation and education
green space for human renewal |
Bay County
Conservancy is celebrating 10 years of local land conservation. Our
latest land acquisition is a 10 acre addition to Tumble Creek
Preserve – a very wet area that is part of the Econfina Creek watershed.
This preserve began as a donation of 20 acres and has grown through several
additions to over 67 acres. We are pleased to be able to provide this
refuge for the plants and animals that have been destroyed in other
places.
Please help by donating $10.00 today. Mail your donation by sending
in the
flyer, or
