About the Business
Welcome to the Sanibel-Captiva Conservation Foundation, a dedicated guardian of Southwest Florida’s coastal ecosystems. Located at 3333 Sanibel Captiva Road, Sanibel, Florida, our park stands as a testament to over 50 years of unwavering commitment to environmental preservation and education.
Our mission is to protect and care for the region's unique coastal environments, ensuring the survival and thriving of local wildlife, including sea turtles, shorebirds, and aquatic species. We are actively engaged in habitat management, restoration, and native landscaping to restore and maintain the natural beauty and ecological balance of our area.
Our efforts extend to monitoring water quality, providing real-time data to track the health of our water systems. Through education and community involvement, we aim to instill a sense of environmental stewardship across generations, encouraging everyone to actively participate in safeguarding our precious ecosystems.
The Sanibel Sea School, a vital part of our foundation, offers immersive experiences that allow individuals to connect with the ocean and understand the important messages it conveys. Moreover, our Coastal Watch program collaborates with volunteers to restore habitats and promote sustainable interactions with our coastal environment.
In the wake of Hurricane Ian, our work has become even more crucial. The storm left significant damage to our buildings and properties, as well as the Sanibel-Captiva area. We are actively working to preserve and protect our region’s wildlife, land, and water, and we need your support. Unrestricted donations will be directed towards immediate recovery needs and advocating for science-based environmental policy to ensure coastal resilience.
Join us in our mission to safeguard the natural treasures of Southwest Florida. Your involvement and support are vital to our continued success in protecting and nurturing our coastal ecosystems for generations to come.
Reviews
"Neat place for an easy walk/hike. Good for kids. Few loop trails along the Sanibel River with a lookout tower. Was hoping to see more wildlife but did see White Iris, Herons, butterflies and fish. Some parts Sun and some shade too. Good way to kill an hour or two if you need a break from the beach/pool."
"We hiked to the lookout tower. The place reminded us of jungle trails. The butterflies are not longer here and the visitor center was closed due to Covid-19."
"As a new Sanibel resident of 3 years :) we discovered this trail. Tried these trails in December 2020, it was mostly flooded . So happy to see that trails improved and are mostly dry now. It’s beautiful, changing from trails trough tall grasses , along the water, through wooded areas. Absolutely loved it. Saw baby gators, beautiful birds and plants. Walked all trails. About 3 miles. Not recommended for bikes. Do not bring a dog due to proximity to water full of gators !! I cannot believe it took me 3 years to find this gem on Sanibel. It’s pure nature. Thank you Sanibel for leaving this area to nature."
"Sanibel Island has many beautiful natural places where one can take a walk, but this is the best one on the island. The foundation does excellent work both at this site and across the island."
"This organization has saved Sanibel from uncontrolled development by helping to preserve 70% of the island. Visit, Contibute, and Support."
