The Lemon Bay Conservancy, Inc., is
located in Englewood, Florida. Established over 30 years ago, it
is a nonprofit organization for the preservation, protection, and
acquisition of natural areas important in maintaining the ecological
balance of Lemon Bay and adjacent waters.
The Lemon Bay Aquatic Preserve lies in both Charlotte and Sarasota
Counties in southwest Florida. Over the years, the Lemon Bay Conservancy has
actively supported the purchase of parklands in both Charlotte and
Sarasota Counties and donated funds for development of Lemon Bay
Park, Cedar Point Park and Blind Pass Park in Englewood. A recent
land acquisition in 2004 was the purchase of additional waterfront
property at Cedar Point Park, providing important
habitat for endangered species as well as buffering for Lemon Bay
and adjacent waters.
The Lemon Bay Conservancy's stated vision is to forever protect
and preserve the natural features of Lemon Bay and its surrounding
waters and uplands through property acquisition and management,
comprehensive environmental education, and regional advocacy of
appropriate land and water conservation policies, programs, and
practices.
These proactive initiatives benefit wildlife habitats and provide
green space, ensuring a value and quality of life for all who inhabit
the area.
