Florida

Just south of the bustle of Orlando’s amusement parks is one of the most biologically rich grasslands in the world, essential to the water quality of the Everglades.

In south central Florida, within the Everglades Headwaters National Wildlife Refuge, OSI helped conserve nearly 4,000 acres. This critical locale plays an important role in the protection of drinking water and the preservation of sensitive species and habitat.

The state, which had long sought to conserve the land, called our work “instrumental in achieving the purchase.”
