Florida Conservation Group gets $1.1M in funding to improve ranchland water quality

The Florida Conservation Group (FCG) has secured more than $1.1 million in funding to help improve water quality on ranchlands in Central and South Florida, in partnership with Common Ground Ecology.

The money comes via the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF). Congress created that organization in 1984 to work with the public and private sectors to secure grants to protect the environment.

FCG works with private landowners to help secure conservation easements and other incentives that aid them in protecting their land.
