Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

The Sanibel Captiva Conservation Foundation has a challenging job: to protect and conserve Sanibel and Captiva islands coastal and aquatic habitats and the animals and plants that depend on them. The foundation manages 1300 acres on Sanibel and Captiva and 500 on Pine Island. Visitors can enjoy the foundation’s Nature Center in Sanibel with four miles of nature trails, an observation tower, a butterfly house, a touch tank and a souvenir shop.

Their Native Plants Nursery offers native plants for sale to local gardeners. A big part of the Foundation’s work is scientific – they research mangroves, sea grasses, fish and shellfish populations, water quality, and local weather.
