Conserve Nassau
The key to resiliency is relationships that prepare us for change.
Conserve Nassau engages the community to protect and strengthen the treasured features of our unique home including our diverse economy, cultural heritage, and fragile ecosystems.
Conservation of our natural environment
Biodiversity is a hallmark of regional resiliency. Conserve Nassau is dedicated to changing the paradigm of Amelia Island and Nassau County from growth to conservation; restoring and preserving what we have for future generations.
Conservation of our cultural heritage.
We are fortunate to retain a diversity of people here in Nassau County, many of them here for generations, who are precious carriers of memories and legacies important to humanity. Our community enjoys many older structures important to a conservation and historic preservation perspective that inspire long-term residents and enchant newcomers. Yet development for short-term profit continues to threaten our natural, social, and economic ecosystems.
Alliances for action.
Collaboration is essential to our success. Our nonprofit is composed entirely of volunteers with diverse backgrounds, but we can’t do it all and we can’t know it all. Our citizen’s grassroot engagement with other citizens, organizations, agencies, and community leaders keeps our conservation agenda active and meaningful to Nassau County.
Biodiversity loss is one of the most severe long-term dangers facing the world.
