Artist Statement

Celebrate the 200,000 acres approved for conservation since the Florida Wildlife Corridor Act. This Wildpath photography exhibit features properties secured through the Florida Forever and Rural and Family Lands protection programs. Wildpath tells the stories of wide-ranging wildlife and the habitats they connect, to help protect a planet in balance. See more photos and videos of Florida Wildlife Corridor lands recently conserved at wildpath.com/progress.

The Wildpath team of storytellers, explorers, and conservationists leads us on an extraordinary photographic journey of discovery through the Florida Wildlife Corridor in the exhibition Connect & Protect. This exhibit celebrates the first 40 Corridor landscapes approved for protection since the signing of the Florida Wildlife Corridor Act, with photographs by noted conservation photographers. Also included is a satellite map of Florida that marks the Corridor and identifies property locations around the state.

This traveling exhibit was made possible by the Jacarlene Foundation and is now showing at Wild Space thanks to the generous support of the Ruth and JO Stone Foundation.
