is currently working to protect 631 acres of land in Central Florida in hopes of saving the state's dwindling population of black bears and they need our help in order to make it happen.
This land is part of heavily wooded forest known as Hollywood Pines — one of two unprotected properties in the corridor connecting the Ocala National Forest and the Wekiva River Basin — where this state-designated threatened species roams free. The problem is that the bears' habitat is being overtaken by developers and the Nature Conservancy needs the funds to keep it protected.
