Environmental policy staff develops board-ratified position statements and plans of action on conservation and environmental issues in Southwest Florida. Numerous conservation campaigns of local and regional significance are managed within the Environmental Policy Division. Staff regularly delivers written and oral testimony on major conservation initiatives for area government and agencies. All land acquisition efforts are also coordinated within The Conservancy's Environmental Policy Division. Environmental Policy also hosts monthly lectures at The Conservancy's Naples Nature Center.
Lectures cover timely topics, and are free and open to the public.
Policy efforts stem from science-based research and staff works closely with The Conservancy's Environmental Science Division .
