The mangrove shoreline is the principal
developmental habitat for game fish in
southern Florida. But large portions of
this vital habitat have been destroyed
or altered by coastal development.
The Conservancy of Southwest
Florida has been involved with the
study and tagging of over 5,000
mangrove trees to help understand
why mangroves are disappearing .
Information on juvenile game fish and
their developmental habitat
is needed to conserve the remaining
habitat of these economicallyimportant species and guide
restoration efforts .

Our Mission
To protect Southwest Florida’s unique natural environment
and quality of life ... now and forever.
Our Vision
We envision a Southwest Florida where our land, water and wildlife
are protected, our citizens are engaged and our leaders make
decisions with the health, well-being and sustainability of our region
in mind. We seek to increase our knowledge of the natural world
through continued scientific research and to increase our impact
through collaboration with our partners. We work to protect a high
quality of life for both our current residents and generations to come.

Letter from the Chairman
Letter from the president
As I come to the end of my term
as board chairman, I know that our
supporters are more committed than
ever to protecting our future and quality
of life.
I am pleased to bring you our
2007-2008 Annual Report. It is just
one example of the immense public
support of our work.
On January 13, 2008, the Conservancy launched the “Saving
Southwest Florida: Campaign for the Conservancy.” At the time of
the announcement, we had already raised 80% of our $25 million goal.
Since then, we have raised additional philanthropic support and, in
response to critical unmet needs, have raised the goal to $33 million.
More than $27 million has been raised to date.
The Campaign is not only about numbers. It’s an indication of the
commitment of supporters and friends to protecting our quality of
life. Not only has the Conservancy received its largest gift in its 45
year history, it has received a record number of $1 million gifts. I am
confident that we will achieve the goal for the Campaign, which will
strengthen our efforts to protect our region’s water, wildlife, land and
our future.
While the Campaign has been a tremendous success, we must not
lose sight of the importance of maintaining our funding for day to
day operations which total more than $4 million annually. Each
day and each month the pressures on our environment continue to
escalate, and our talented and imaginative staff are eager to meet the
challenges before them.
The Conservancy has a critical need for continued and enhanced
support to its annual fund. Many opportunities exist on how you can
support the daily work of the Conservancy. Renew or upgrade your
membership. Urge others to join. Continue your contributions to the
Sea Turtle and Wildlife Rehabilitation funds. Attend special events
and invite your friends to participate as well.
By supporting the Conservancy of Southwest Florida, we protect the
paradise we love and leave a legacy for future generations to enjoy.
While I end my term as board chairman, I am more committed than
ever to promote the mission and support more of the work of the
Conservancy, one of the most effective environmental organizations in
the United States.
Your funds go toward protecting one of the greatest remaining natural
treasures in our country for future generations --- the Western
Everglades.
Nicholas G. Penniman, IV
Chairman of the Board

As you peruse the list of donors, I hope you will be as impressed as
I am by the broad and diverse base this organization enjoys. We are
beholden to no one other than you, the members. We are nobody’s
group but yours.
Your support has allowed us to tackle the thorny issues of water
quality, land use planning, and preservation of natural resources.
Seldom has that challenge been greater than in the past year. Much of
our environmental science, education and wildlife rehabilitation work
is highlighted throughout this report.
Public policy activities often grab the headlines, and some of these
were difficult. One would think with the downturn in the economy
that development pressure would at least ease if not go away
completely. But that has not been the case. The Department of
Community Affairs in Tallahassee, the agency that oversees growth
management, has been inundated with development proposals. Over
500,000 acres of new entitlements are pending. Whether these
proposals are being fueled by a fear of future regulation or a desire
to get out in front of the next Florida boom is unclear. But for the
Conservancy it has meant expanding our presence in the policy arena.
The challenges have included:
• Preventing private beach clubs, public docks, boardwalks, public
shuttles, and other inappropriate development on Keewaydin
Island.
• Putting limits on future development in far northeastern Collier
County. According to the Collier County Planning Commission,
some developer-driven proposals would have allowed 400,000
people to live east of Golden Gate Estates.
• Creating policies that protect the amount of water we have and
improve its purity. During this past winter our rainfall was only
slightly ahead of Death Valley. We need to ensure that we are not
continually putting more and more pressure on limited drinking
water supplies.
For these reasons I hope you will continue to support the work of
the Conservancy. You have been our friends through good and bad.
In 2009 we turn 45 years old. With your continued support we can
continue for another 45 years, keeping Southwest Florida a unique
part of America, and not the kind of burger-this and taco-that urban
sprawl so common in other parts of Florida.

Conservancy of Southwest Florida Wildlife
Rehabilitation Clinic (WRC) team released a
bald eagle back into the wild at Mediterra in
North Naples in June. The eagle had spent
the prior five months recovering from a broken
left wing. “It was one of those success stories
we weren’t sure would happen,” according
to Joanna Fitzgerald-Vaught, WRC Director.
The WRC treats over 2,400 injured, sick and
orphaned wildlife and successfully releases
about half of them back into the wild.

Campaign Leadership Gifts
Saving Southwest Florida:
The Conservancy announced a $25 million capital campaign goal on January 13,
2008 and at the same time announced that over $20 million had been raised to
date. Over 200 guests attended the special announcement celebration at the
Conservancy Nature Center. Nine leadership gifts of one million dollars or more
had been contributed to the campaign by the time of the announcement. The
Conservancy Capital Campaign has four major goals:
is a big step for the Conservancy of
Southwest Florida and I am pleased
and proud to be part of this critical
effort to move toward sustainable
building.”
- Geri Martin, The Martin Foundation, Inc.
Discovery Center
“The Conservancy is in major
need of rebuilding and we believe
that supporting a new Discovery
Center is extremely important to
teach and involve newcomers in
the Conservancy mission and help
develop the next generation of
conservationists.”
1. Conserve Our Natural Resources by expanding advocacy,
research, native wildlife protection and education programs.
2. Build a Strong Endowment and ensure that the staff and
resources needed are available to sustain the work of the
Conservancy.
3. Create a World-Class Nature Center, a 21-acre oasis and focal
point of conservation and sustainability.
4. Create a Gateway to the Conservancy & Gordon River Greenway.
- Sue & Bill Dalton

Conservancy &
Gordon River Greenway
Learning Laboratory
“I wanted to give the Conservancy a
boost as it moves forward with this
important campaign. If people who
move to Southwest Florida’s paradise
don’t protect the area, they will lose it.”
- Nancy Seeley, Leadership gift from
the Leonard C. and Mildred F. Ferguson
Foundation

“As new residents and long time
visitors of Naples we felt obliged to
get involved in the community. It
didn’t take long to realize what the
Conservancy is doing to protect
Southwest Florida’s unique beauty,
resources and inhabitants. We
are pleased to support this vital
organization. Our hope is that a new
entrance to the Conservancy will
help bring more awareness to the
organization and its tireless efforts.”
- Jeannie and Christopher B. Smith
Conservation Hall
“We are all very fortunate to live in
Southwest Florida and it is our responsibility to support the Conservancy in
its effort to preserve the gifts of nature: clean and abundant water being
one of the most important.”
-Bob & Connie Eaton
THE Blair Legacy
Many thanks to Peter Thomas for lending his valuable voice that
brought our Capital Campaign DVD to life.

The Conservancy gratefully
acknowledges the lifetime
contributions of the late
Mrs. Dorothy R. Blair to
the cause of conservation,
including her decision early
in the campaign to assist the
Conservancy in purchasing
the 8 acre Fleischmann
property. This property
acquisition was vital in
allowing us to link Goodlette
Frank Road to our revitalized
campus and help create a
significant new preserve in
the heart of Naples.
Environmental
Planning Center
“It seems very appropriate to be
funding one of the first green public
buildings in our own community.
The Environmental Planning Center
Conservation Policy
“Being second generation supporters
of the Conservancy provides a lot of
long term perspective for us. Though
the Conservancy has grown in size,
the breadth and depth of the issues
it tackles are increasing at an even
faster pace. Our leadership gift to the
campaign is directed at strengthening
the immediate and long term needs for
policy and science-based advocacy. We
believe strongly in the Conservancy’s
talented and tenacious staff and its
proven ability to get the job done.”
Wildlife
Rehabilitation Clinic
“The Wildlife Rehabilitation Clinic has
an important dual role in caring for
and rehabilitating injured wildlife, but
also introducing more people to the
Conservancy than any other program.
We chose to make a leadership gift
to build the new Clinic with the hope
that it will enable the Conservancy to
expand and enhance its work.”
- Dolph and Sharon von Arx
- Lynne and Chip Shotwell

Critter Care
Our wildlife clinic admitted nearly 2,500 injured animals, a record. Most of
these had been hit by cars, tangled in fishing gear, or attacked by dogs and
cats. To address these problems we have partnered with public and private
organizations to encourage greater awareness of human impacts on wildlife; we
hope to prevent more injuries in the future.

DISAPPEARING WILD PLACES
Collier County’s “Rural Lands Stewardship Area” (RLSA) was initially hailed as a
landmark plan to protect eastern Collier County rural lands. The intention was to limit
urban sprawl in rural areas and offer incentives for landowners to direct development
to less environmentally-sensitive lands. While the Conservancy supports the RLSA
concept of balancing growth, conservation and agriculture, the Conservancy has been
actively involved in proposing key improvements in the original plan. This work will
continue for the next several years as developers and others push for additional land
credits and increased development.

HOOKING $60,000
Over the past decades, the southwest Florida bays and the waters of the Ten Thousand Islands have
undergone dramatic changes from human encroachment – including altered water flows and pollution
from stormwater runoff. As the habitat changes, the fish populations change as well. Yet, a study has
not been done in over 30 years. More than 50 teams participated in the second annual 2008 RedSnook
Catch & Release Charity Tournament on Oct. 3-5. The $60,000 raised will support the Conservancy
Juvenile Gamefish Study to help ensure that our waters remain viable for sportfishing far into the future.
The event, sponsored by Heatherwood Construction, Comcast, M&I Wealth Management and ESPNAM, was chaired by Conservancy Board Member Andy Hill and renowned angler Roland Martin.

SUSTAINABLE GROWTH
In Lee County, Density Reduction/Groundwater Resource area (DR/GR) is critical to
replenishing our underground water supplies. The Conservancy policy team worked
with the Lee County Commissioners and advocated for science-based review of these
lands and additional hydrologic studies to direct development to less environmentallysensitive areas. The Commission has incorporated many of these recommendations
into their growth planning.

no place like home
After being taken to Minnesota
by vacationing tourists on Sanibel
Island, a loggerhead sea turtle
traveled in first class back to
Florida. The Conservancy naturalist
team raised the turtle for three
years until it reached nearly 18
inches and 25 pounds. The sea
turtle was escorted to Goodland
on June 26, released about 2 miles
offshore, and speedily swam away.

BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES
The Conservancy has provided input and assistance regarding strong, effective
fertilizer ordinances adopted in several areas in southwest Florida. The plans include
educational outreach programs and regulate the rates, timing and methods for fertilizer
application. Less fertilizer runoff improves the quality of our coastal waterways and
preserves the habitat for our sea life.

WETLANDS POLLUTE?
Despite a lack of peer-reviewed science, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) and the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) have adopted
a controversial policy that allows developers to increase their water pollution and
destroy more wetlands. Known as the Harper Methodology, it inaccurately presumes
that natural wetlands are a significant source of pollution, which fundamentally creates
incentives to destroy wetlands for development. The Conservancy continues to
pursue actions to prevent the adoption of the methodology before vital wetlands, and
our water supplies, are destroyed.
