Our Mission: To preserve and enhance the natural resources of the area, promote economic stability and improve the quality of life for the residents of the area.
Our Vision: Create and/or ensure a sustainable environment where both development and conservation can coexist for the benefit of the land and its future residents.
Southwest Florida is one of the fastest growing areas of the country. Problems associated with preserving resources, water quality and land use are effecting both the coastal and the inland counties. Believing that a regional focus on conservation, water management, community development and land management was critical in balancing the population growth and needs with the environment, conservation and smart growth professionals met to spearhead the formation of the Council.
The Southwest Florida RC&DC has been created to assist local communities in the five-county area with meeting their goals and objectives in land conservation, water management, community development and land management. Formation of this 501(c)3 council consisting of members from each county provides an opportunity for members to share experiences in implementing best practices, conserving resources and sharing expertise.
