North Florida Land Trust observes achievements, 20th anniversary

North Florida Land Trust observes achievements,  20th anniversary
Members of the Cummer Family present were Sandra Smith, Cheryl Cummer and Richey Smith

The North Florida Land Trust (NFLT) welcomed guests to the nonprofit’s annual meeting appropriately held at the Cummer Museum of Art and Gardens in Riverside, as sprawling oaks and expansive gardens were a fitting backdrop for the organization tasked with preserving wild lands and tracts throughout North Florida.

As the leading advocacy group for land preservation and wildlife habitat throughout Baker, Bradford, Clay, Columbia, Duval, Flagler, Nassau, Putnam, St. Johns, Union and Volusia Counties, the organization continues to protect Florida’s great outdoors. The group celebrated major milestones in conservation in 2019, reflected on the past 20 years, while also looking ahead to the next 20 years.

At the annual meeting, NFLT leaders recognized donors, volunteers and advocates for their dedication and commitment to the mission, which included awards for members of the McQuilkin Society. The award honors major donors to the land conservation organization and pays tribute to NFLT founder, Bill McQuilkin. Inductees were Kathi Chalk, Andrus and Natalie Healy, Bob and Cynthia Kastner, Connie and Ken McDaniel, Chuck and Diane Newman, Sally and Tony Perez, Matthew Rapp, Sandra and Richey Smith, Elizabeth Strawbridge, as well as Ben and Louann Williams. The event took place Feb. 19, 2020.
