“This is a significant property for connectivity within the O2O, and strengthens the regional conservation network,” said Allison DeFoor, president and CEO of NFLT. “We’re excited about what this means for wildlife, water resources, and the long-term protection of Camp Blanding’s mission. Camp Blanding has been an outstanding conservation partner, helping ensure these lands remain protected in their natural state forever. The time to protect Florida’s natural lands is now.”

The property was previously owned by Rayonier Forest Resources, LP, which managed the land for timber production. The 860-acre tract lies adjacent to and south of NFLT’s Triangle Preserve and the Suwannee River Management Santa Fe Swamp Conservation Area. Its location expands a growing network of conserved lands that support wildlife movement, protect water quality, and strengthen climate resilience across Northeast Florida.

The land includes significant floodplain storage and provides natural buffers to wetlands associated with Prevatt Creek, a tributary that contributes to the headwaters of the Santa Fe River. Protecting this property helps maintain the ecological integrity of the watershed. The site also supports habitat for a wide range of wildlife, including deer, turkey, and black bear, all of which are well documented in the area. NFLT will own and manage the land, which has future potential for public access, including hiking trails and passive recreation opportunities.

The O2O Corridor is a 1.6-million-acre network of public and private lands connecting the Ocala and Osceola National Forests. The acquisition strengthens one of Florida’s most important connected landscapes and helps safeguard its ecological health for generations to come.

About North Florida Land Trust

North Florida Land Trust is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to preserving and enhancing the quality of life by protecting North Florida’s irreplaceable natural environment. Founded in 1999, NFLT has preserved tens of thousands of acres of land through the donation or purchase of land as well as conservation easements.  NFLT is funded largely by private and corporate contributions and works closely with willing landowners and public agencies at all levels of government, not-for-profit partners, and foundations.

The post North Florida Land Trust Preserves More Than 860 Acres in Bradford County appeared first on North Florida Land Trust.

The 518 acres are owned by the Hoffmeister family, who purchased the property in 1968. It is located approximately a mile outside of Crescent City, nestled between Lake George and Crescent Lake. The land is home to an abundance of wildlife, including deer, turkey, gopher tortoises, wading birds and a nesting pair of bald eagles. Ecosystems within the property include oak hammocks, scrub habitat, natural and improved wetlands and two unnamed tributaries that wind toward Lake George. Nearly half of the acreage is freshwater wetlands.

The Hoffmeister family has used the land as a working cattle ranch since its purchase, and it continues to operate in that tradition today. Portions of the land are leased to local cattlemen, reinforcing the family’s commitment to sustaining Florida’s agricultural heritage. Protecting open space and preserving the natural systems that support ranching has long been central to the Hoffmeisters’ stewardship of the land.

“This property is a beautiful place, and we wanted to keep it protected and free of development so future generations of our family could enjoy and appreciate the nature, wildlife and agriculture on the property,” said Bill Hoffmeister. “We love this land and want it to remain natural forever. Placing a conservation easement on the property allows us to do our part to slow the growth of development in the O2O and protect the aquifer and the many fragile ecosystems found here.”

“The Hoffmeister property is a real gem and a critical piece of land to add to the O2O, building on the conservation areas already in place,” said Allison DeFoor, president and CEO of NFLT. “With the purchase of this conservation easement agreement, this land is protected forever and will never be rooftops. The family can continue to use the property as they have been for decades, and a piece of old Florida has been saved forever.”

The O2O spans 1.6 million acres of public and private land stretching 100 miles between the Ocala and Osceola National Forests. NFLT has made the O2O a core focus of its conservation work and, for years, has led the O2O Wildlife Corridor Partnership, a coalition of organizations committed to protecting and connecting lands throughout the critical landscape.

NFLT must raise $150,000 by June 1 to purchase the land and has raised $29,000 to date. With the addition of the $60,000 donation from Beaches Go Green, NFLT is now asking the community to help secure the remaining $61,000 needed for the additional parcel. The property is owned by Spencer Engineering and Exploration Co., Inc., whose owners are members of the Spencer family, the original landowners of much of NFLT’s Bogey Creek Preserve.

“As we see more development around Bogey Creek Preserve along Cedar Point Rd., it is more important than ever that we raise the money needed to preserve this property,” said Allison DeFoor, president and CEO of NFLT. “We appreciate Beaches Go Green thinking of us for this generous donation. Over the last nine years, they have done a lot to help shape healthier lives and a healthier North Florida.”

Beaches Go Green Founder and Executive Director Anne Marie Moquin said, “Our final act is one of lasting impact— helping to protect the Bogey Creek area will allow our impact to live long after we’re gone. Our team at Beaches Go Green is deeply grateful to the supporters, volunteers, and community who made nine years of meaningful impact possible.”

Donations to help NFLT preserve the four-acres and expand Bogey Creek Preserve can be made online, by mail to NFLT at 843 W. Monroe St., Jacksonville, FL, 32202, or by contacting Lee Anderson Louy at landersonlouy@nflt.org or (904) 479-1967.

It was 20 years ago that NFLT purchased the first six and a half acres from the Spencer family, and in 2017, added 67.5 acres creating Bogey Creek Preserve. The property underwent environmental renovations and opened to the public in 2019. In 2021, additional acres were added to the preserve to bring the total acres to 85.

Bogey Creek Preserve protects nearly one mile of critical marsh front on Clapboard and Bogey Creeks. It contains walking trails that wind through a mix of maritime hammock and mixed pine-oak forest, and along seep-fed cypress swamps. It also includes picnic areas and a kayak landing on Bogey Creek. Bogey Creek Preserve is one of two NFLT properties that are part of the 7 Creeks Recreation Area, a network of parks that include city, state and national parks.

The easement, valued at $3,706,000, was purchased through the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services’ Rural and Family Lands Protection Program (RFLPP), with the Natural Resources Conservation Service’s (NRCS) Regional Conservation Partnership Program (RCPP) contributing $1,853,000 toward the total easement value. Delays had threatened to derail the project, but NFLT worked with its federal partners to bring it to completion.

“Sometimes projects like these need a little help from a friend, so I reached out to Congressman Aaron Bean to ask for assistance,” said Allison DeFoor, president and CEO of NFLT. “Congressman Bean and his team were able to help us move this project forward, and now there are 1,685 acres that will remain protected forever. We appreciate Congressman Bean stepping in to help and his commitment to what we do, because it is now or never.”

The property is primarily managed for silviculture, with prescribed burns used to maintain an open understory and promote a rich diversity of native plant species. Wetlands are scattered throughout the landscape, and the land provides an important riparian buffer along Cedar Creek as it winds through the tract. Wildlife management efforts support healthy populations of deer, turkey, dove, and waterfowl, and the property is also actively used for native game hunting.

Protecting the property adds another tract to the O2O, which includes 1.6 million acres of public and privately owned forested land stretching 100 miles from the Ocala National Forest to the Osceola National Forest. NFLT leads the O2O Wildlife Corridor Partnership, a group of like-minded organizations dedicated to preserving land within the O2O.

NFLT was honored to have Land Trust Alliance CEO Ashley Demosthenes as this year’s keynote speaker. The Land Trust Alliance (LTA) is a national land conservation organization that empowers and mobilizes land trusts in communities across America to conserve land for the benefit of all. LTA works with more than one thousand land trusts nationwide to advance private land conservation and ensure that important landscapes are protected for generations to come.

“North Florida Land Trust is doing some excellent work—you are walking the walk and are a voice for land conservation,” said Demosthenes. “We all know the challenges of land conservation and protecting the lands that protect us against things like coastal flooding and storm surge. Input we receive from organizations like North Florida Land Trust helps us as we develop a comprehensive strategic planning initiative that will help us write the next chapter of land conservation in America.”

In 2025, NFLT protected over 18,000 acres of land across North Florida, bringing the total amount of land protected since the nonprofit’s inception in 1999 to more than 125,000. The lands safeguarded wildlife habitats and working lands and further connected the critical Ocala to Osceola (O2O) Wildlife Corridor. The organization grew its membership to more than 750 people, saw over 165 individuals join its volunteer projects, and released “Keeping North Florida Wild,” the organization’s 25th-anniversary book.

One of the properties NFLT was able to conserve was due to the efforts of Congressman Aaron Bean, this year’s recipient of the NFLT Conservation Champion Award. NFLT President and CEO Allison DeFoor reached out to Congressman Bean for assistance when NFLT was facing a deadline. Representative Bean and his team helped NFLT work with federal partners to complete a conservation easement on a 1,683-acre property near Olustee Battlefield Historic Park and adjacent to the Osceola National Forest.

“I texted Representative Bean and said, ‘we need some help’ and he got his team on it right away,” said DeFoor. “I am very appreciative of his commitment to what we do. It has made a big difference.”

“Government sometimes moves slowly, but North Florida Land Trust moves fast, and I am honored to have been a part of the urgency that saved this land,” said Congressman Bean. “All of us share a common vision that brings us together: to protect the swamps, forests, rivers, streams, and coastlines. It is best for the earth and the next generation, and it is definitely worth fighting for.”

This year’s Charlie Commander Land Conservation Award, named in honor of a longtime NFLT supporter and conservationist, was presented to Randy and Paula Ringhaver, the owners of Ring Power. Together, the company and the Ringhaver family donated a 1,732-acre conservation easement in St. Johns County known as DeerCreek Plantation to NFLT.

The Partnership for Gulf Coast Land Conservation received this year’s Partner of the Year Award for its support of NFLT. The organization has helped fund critical due diligence work to advance land protection across the region. The Advocate of the Year Award was given to Guy Marwick, who, through his leadership at the Felburn Foundation, has been a longtime and generous supporter of NFLT.

The NFLT Presidential Award was given to two people this year: Dr. Wayne Wood and Mark Middlebrook. Dr. Wood, a renowned Jacksonville historian, author, and preservationist, was honored for his deep commitment to the community. Dr. Wood helped facilitate one of NFLT’s largest property gifts and has helped preserve the cultural and architectural heritage of our region. Middlebrook, who passed away earlier this year, was honored for his work with the Preservation Project Jacksonville and the Timucuan Parks Foundation. Middlebrook’s work protected more than 50,000 acres across Jacksonville and built one of the largest urban park systems in the nation.

NFLT’s Salty Soiree Committee was presented with the Volunteers of the Year Award. Janyce Dawkins, Becky Grimes, Pam Hart, Cynthia Jones-Jackson, Connie McDaniel, Lyn Pannone, and Sally Perez put together a fundraiser for NFLT in Amelia Island in October of 2025. The sold-out event at Fort Clinch State Park welcomed more than 150 guests to celebrate conservation and raise money for NFLT. The event will become an annual event with the next Salty Soiree scheduled for October 25, 2026.

NFLT also announced a new fundraising campaign to add four more acres to Bogey Creek Preserve, its public preserve located at 5500 Cedar Point Rd. within the 7 Creeks Recreation Area. The nonprofit must raise $150,000 by June 1 to preserve the property.

NFLT would like to thank the sponsors of the Annual Meeting and Celebration. Black Bear Sponsors included Dream Finders Homes, Eastland, the Lisa Barton Team Ponte Vedra Beach, and Wetland Preserve Conservation Compatible Forestry. Judith Beaubouef, Lory Doolittle, Ann and Keith Holt, and The Players were Bobcat Sponsors. Gratitude is also extended to all Manatee, Gopher Tortoise and Marsh Rabbit Sponsors.

The DeerCreek Plantation conservation easement was donated by Ring Power and its owners, Randy and Paula Ringhaver and David and Bree Alban. The property lies within NFLT’s springs, aquifer recharge, and water quality improvement preservation priority area, and is also within the St. Johns River Blueway Florida Forever Project Area. It borders Trout Creek for about two miles along the eastern boundary, helping protect the creek and ultimately the St. Johns River. Several new developments surround the property, and preserving this land through a conservation easement eliminates the possibility of future development and keeps it a pristine piece of natural land.

“This generous donation is a major win for conservation in St. Johns County, which just continues to grow,” said Allison DeFoor, president and CEO of NFLT. “We are grateful to the Ringhaver family for recognizing the importance of saving this natural space because it is now or never. Now their children, grandchildren, and their grandchildren’s grandchildren will be able to enjoy this beautiful property.”

Randy Ringhaver says this property holds profound meaning for him and his family. Over several decades, he and his family gradually acquired parcels from multiple owners, ultimately assembling the more than 1,732 acres that now make up DeerCreek Plantation. As development continued to press in around this natural landscape, the Ringhavers chose to partner with NFLT and place the property under a conservation easement, ensuring that this cherished stretch of wilderness will remain protected forever.

“A close friend once said some things are worth more than they can be sold for, and that is exactly how we feel about DeerCreek,” said Randy Ringhaver, Chairman of Ring Power.

Under the terms of the perpetual conservation easement agreement, Ring Power and the Ringhaver and Alban families may continue to enjoy the property. DeerCreek Plantation is primarily used as a private quail hunting plantation for company outings and business entertainment.

NFLT was instrumental in facilitating this land into conservation by bringing a majority of those involved in the process to the table and working with former Speaker of the House Paul Renner to secure funding for acquisitions within the O2O. The conservation easements allow Weyerhaeuser and Blackbottom to continue using the land as a working forest while ensuring it remains free from development forever.

“This historic conservation easement acquisition was something we started working on approximately seven years ago, when we began talks with the Weyerhaeuser Corporation,” said Allison DeFoor, president and CEO of NFLT. “To have played a role in the largest conservation easement acquisition in the state’s history is a wonderful feeling. We have now moved our total acres preserved in the state to 125,555. I congratulate the Governor and the state on bringing this across the finish line and ensuring this part of the O2O remains in its natural state forever. It is now or never.”

The Weyerhaeuser and Blackbottom conservation easements stretch and protect a critical bottleneck in the Florida Wildlife Corridor from the Raiford Wildlife Management Area to the Osceola National Forest. Protecting the land secures a contiguous landscape for a wide range of species, including the Florida black bear, and helps safeguard significant aquifer recharge, wetland habitats and rural forestry economies.

NFLT leads the O2O Wildlife Corridor Partnership, a group of like-minded organizations dedicated to preserving land within the O2O. Approximately 1.6 million acres of public and privately owned forested land stretching 100 miles from the Ocala National Forest to the Osceola National Forest, make up the O2O.

It takes readers on a journey through NFLT’s 25 years of service through compelling essays and images that record the places, people, priorities, and partnerships that have driven the nonprofit’s mission to protect and preserve North Florida’s irreplaceable natural beauty. Readers will learn about how NFLT has protected almost 44,000 acres since its inception in 1999, led restoration projects to bring back natural habitats for wildlife and plant species that depend on them, and safeguarded landscapes including wildlife corridors, wetlands, forests and working lands.

“This book gives people a way to visualize our accomplishments and impact as well as understand the significant role conservation has in Florida. It showcases why we must continue our mission to preserve these important natural spaces, because it truly is now or never,” said Allison DeFoor, NFLT president and CEO. “I think our team did an incredible job, and I especially want to thank Sarah Hande, our communications officer, who took the lead on putting this book together. She really did a wonderful job, and I can’t wait for everyone to read it.”

NFLT brings together private landowners, corporations, government agencies, foundations and other nonprofits to preserve Florida’s natural landscapes for future generations. “Keeping North Florida Wild” is a testament to what collective action can achieve. It showcases NFLT’s growth and reveals how a shared vision and steadfast commitment have made the nonprofit one of Florida’s leading conservation organizations.

NFLT’s milestone acquisitions are highlighted in the book, including an exploration of the Ocala to Osceola (O2O) Wildlife Corridor, where NFLT leads a partnership to preserve public and private lands in the 1.6-million-acres that stretches 100 miles and connects the Ocala and Osceola National Forests, a critical link in the Florida Wildlife Corridor. It features a closer look at Bogey Creek Preserve, the nonprofit’s first public park, and Smith Lake Preserve, which now houses its stewardship department.
