FWC Wildlife Corridor Area

This layer represents the Florida Wildlife Corridor, which is composed of Priorities 1, 2, and 3 of the Florida Ecological Greenways Network (FEGN). These priority areas identify the most critical lands for conservation across the state and are used to promote the development of a connected, statewide network of ecologically significant landscapes. The Florida Wildlife Corridor highlights lands that are essential for maintaining habitat connectivity, protecting biodiversity, and preserving water resources. By linking public and private conservation lands, the corridor supports the movement of wildlife, enhances ecosystem resilience, and helps sustain Florida’s natural systems. The Corridor is recognized in Florida law (2021) and plays a key role in guiding conservation planning and funding decisions. It is utilized by programs such as Florida Forever and other government land acquisition initiatives to prioritize areas most important for long-term environmental preservation. This layer is commonly used in planning, analysis, and mapping applications to evaluate conservation priorities, identify opportunities for land protection, and understand how local efforts—such as Volusia Forever—align with broader statewide conservation strategies. While every effort is made to ensure accuracy, this dataset is intended for informational purposes only and should not be used for legal or survey determinations.
