1,500+ acres PROTECTED!

Another 1,500+ acres of wild Florida are protected forever.



We're proud to announce the permanent protection of 1,564 acres at Square One Ranch, a family-owned working cattle ranch in Highlands County and a critical linkage in the Florida Wildlife Corridor.


This project was made possible through the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services' Rural & Family Lands Protection Program, funding from the U.S. Air Force, the dedication of the Hinton Family, Conservation Florida, and you - our supporters.


Last year, we conserved the neighboring AP Ranch. Now, with Square One Ranch protected & connected, a wildlife corridor is truly thriving. And wildlife sure is using it!



Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission telemetry data has documented endangered Florida panthers traveling through this landscape!

Why does Square One Ranch matter? 


This project...

  • Protects habitat for endangered Florida panthers, Florida black bears, bobcats, crested caracaras, wood storks, and more
  • Connects & protects the Florida Wildlife Corridor
  • Keeps a family-owned cattle ranch working - protecting both Florida's agricultural heritage and its natural heritage

Thank you for reading, and for your consistent belief that places like these are worth saving.
