The Conservancy of Southwest Florida proudly announces the public launch of its most ambitious campaign to date, Now & Forever: The Campaign to Protect our Quality of Life. With a preliminary target of $70 million, this transformative campaign is dedicated to enhancing and securing the long-term sustainability of the Conservancy’s vital efforts in environmental science, education, wildlife rehabilitation, and public policy advocacy. With more than 50% of its fundraising goal already achieved, the Now & Forever Campaign is a bold step towards safeguarding Southwest Florida’s natural resources for generations to come.  

Serving as the catalyst of this historic campaign is a $25 million lead grant from the John & Carol Walter Family Foundation, by Naples Philanthropists John and Carol Walter, to create the new John & Carol Walter Nature Experience.

John And Carol Walter Nature Experience Logo Concept

We are excited to introduce the new logo that will represent the full on-site guest experience at the Conservancy of Southwest Florida when the John & Carol Walter Nature Experience opens in early 2028. The logo reflects a dynamic, immersive campus where ever-changing exhibits bring our work to life and invite visitors to engage, explore, and learn about the natural systems that sustain our region. Through this experience, guests will better understand how protecting water, land, and wildlife directly supports Southwest Florida’s quality of life.
