The Conservancy of Southwest Florida is an organization dedicated to preserving and protecting Southwest Florida's unique natural environment and quality of life. Established in 1964 by a group of concerned citizens, the Conservancy focuses on the protection of land, water, and wildlife that is endemic to the Southwest Florida area, and they are involved in environmental policy, science, education, and wildlife rehabilitation.

The Conservancy has a Nature Center that can be visited to learn more about the environment and the work the Conservancy does. They offer a variety of fun activities and programs to enjoy, including electric boat tours, kayak tours and rentals, nature trails, cinema days, daily educational programs, and the Dalton Discovery Center. Special events can be hosted at the Conservancy Nature Center, and a Little Explorer’s Play Zone will keep the kids occupied for hours.
