Our Panhandle Partnerships

To assist in planning and addressing problems associated with land use and development and to foster actions that help preserve the area's biodiversity, 1000 Friends of Florida went looking for partners. The partners we sought were local governments, nonprofits or a combination of the two. The working objectives of our partnering efforts were to address particular land planning, conservation or land use issues that have particular relevance to outcomes that support the principles of smart growth and affect the protection, maintenance or restoration of natural systems and the biodiversity these systems support.
