A TURNING POINT Where do you see Southwest Florida 20, 30, 40 years from now? For us at the Conservancy, the vision is clear: a Southwest Florida where nature, wildlife, and people thrive together. That future depends on the choices we make today, and on a Conservancy strong enough to carry its mission forward.

This year marked a turning point. The historic $25 million grant from the John & Carol Walter Family Foundation, which launched our $70 million Now and Forever: Campaign to Protect our Quality of Life, ensures the Conservancy is better equipped to protect what makes this region distinctive, and also carry that mission of conservation forward with greater reach and impact, so our natural resources endure for generations to come.

Charles Mueller, Board Chair

Across our work, the impact is clear. In policy, we safeguarded federal oversight of wetlands and strengthened dialogue about how growth should shape our communities. In science, milestones such as a near-record sea turtle season, expanded mangrove restoration, and unprecedented python removal show progress on urgent challenges.

Education inspired more than 35,000 participants, while the von Arx Wildlife Hospital met avian flu threats and still returned hundreds of animals to the wild. This year, the Conservancy not only upheld several previous winning titles, but also earned new honors in the Naples Community's Choice Awards, with the public voting us Best Nonprofit, Best Attraction, Best Fundraising Event for Magic Under the Mangroves, and Best Local Event for our Earth Day Festival.

These results reflect decades of persistence, proving that our long-term investment in science, policy, education, and wildlife care not only leads to measurable change for our environment, but also equips our community with the tools to protect it. Your support is what makes this work possible.

Thank you for believing and investing in the Conservancy’s mission work.

Rob Moher, President & CEO

JOHN & CAROL WALTER NATURE EXPERIENCE The Conservancy of Southwest Florida announced a historic $25 million grant from the John & Carol Walter Family Foundation— the largest gift in our 61-year history and one that stands out in environmental philanthropy. This extraordinary commitment is already transforming the Nature Center and its public amenities into the John & Carol Walter Nature Experience, set to open in early 2028.

In addition to the existing beloved nature center features, the reimagined public guest experience will feature new immersive habitats, traveling and interactive exhibits, family-friendly play-based learning, expanded areas for exploration, and new opportunities to engage in our mission work. Daily talks and changing theme-based programs will offer deeper engagement, while sustainable design— from a solar-topped parking garage to a new living filter marsh—will showcase nature-based and hybrid solutions in action.

Permanent endowments created by the Walters will ensure the John & Carol Walter Nature Experience will forever adapt with emerging science and community perspectives, inspiring visitors to see their own power to protect Southwest Florida’s natural habitats and ensure their resilience for future generations.

NOW & FOREVER CAMPAIGN This visionary investment in the John & Carol Walter Nature Experience serves as the seed for the Now & Forever Campaign: The Campaign to Protect Our Quality of Life. The campaign is chaired by board member H. Thomas Watkins, with John and Carol serving as honorary chairs. Launched in 2025, it is the Conservancy’s most ambitious effort ever, with a $70 million goal. More than half of that goal has already been secured, laying the groundwork to sustain the Conservancy’s vital science, environmental policy, education, and wildlife rehabilitation programs and the people who power them.

This campaign will create an endowment that secures one-third of our annual operating budget, ensuring long-term stability. The remaining two-thirds will rely on annual giving, memberships, major gifts, grants, admissions, and corporate partnerships, to deliver conservation results year after year. With the John & Carol Walter Nature Experience at its heart, the Now & Forever Campaign sustains the Conservancy’s commitment to protecting paradise.

ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION: INSPIRING FUTURE STEWARDS This year, Conservancy education programs reached more than 35,000 participants, connecting them to how Southwest Florida’s ecosystems shape daily life.

CHALLENGE: Many children and adults rarely experience wetlands, mangroves, or native wildlife firsthand. Without these encounters, it becomes harder to see how clean water, resilient coastlines, and healthy habitats connect to our personal life, especially for newer residents and visitors unfamiliar with the region’s natural treasures.

ACTION: Our Education team brought science to life through field trips, summer programs, and community outreach. Intentional effort was put into collaborating with local schools and removing barriers to have the Watery Wonders program at full capacity, giving even more students the chance to see how freshwater ecosystems support wildlife and people.

The Learning Adventure Bus (LAB) doubled its reach through new relationships with five community partners, expanding access to STEM education. To keep lessons fresh, we introduced new curriculum modules. From alligators and burrowing owls to pythons, pollinators, and sea turtles, every audience found a connection to conservation.

IMPACT: We increased the number of people learning about conservation in Southwest Florida by 94% compared to last year!

Participants surveyed gained 30% more knowledge through tours, community events, and hands-on exhibits at the Dalton Discovery Center and John & Carol Walter Discovery Wing. More than 75% pledged stewardship to protect Southwest Florida’s natural resources after learning from Conservancy educators.

24,130 VISITORS

16,305 VISITORS

The Nature Center experienced a year full of fresh faces and exciting upgrades, including 879 new members. We welcomed Donatella, a gopher tortoise from Zoo Miami, who has already become a Conservancy celebrity, with her custom outdoor enclosure and cart to greet visitors. Our python exhibit got a glow-up with new plantings, a behind-the-scenes feeding den, and the successful pairing of Oracle, our 11-foot male, with Stitch, our 13-foot resident—they’ve settled in perfectly together. Eastern Indigo snake, Bindi, now lounges among new palmetto trees, and Muffin the diamondback terrapin has a brand-new 300+ gallon tank on exhibit. Muffin has already made a big impression on visiting students.

“My absolute favorite part was when we met Muffin. Also, I learned SO MUCH!” –Melyssa, 3rd grade

SEA TURTLES: A NEAR-RECORD SEASON

558 nests 38,179 hatchlings Numbers as of publication.

“Thank you for saving the sea turtles ” –Sissy S. on Facebook

This summer, Keewaydin Island had the second strongest sea turtle nesting season in more than four decades.

CHALLENGE: Storms, predators, and rising seas often threaten nests before hatchlings reach the water. Even in strong years, one surge can wash away months of progress.

ACTION: Our turtle team of three biologists and seven interns caged and inventoried the nests and monitored the adult nesting females at night. With storms holding off and predation low, the season is thriving. Our new Turtle Dashboard lets the community follow updates in real time.

IMPACT: This year’s nest numbers are the second-highest on Keewaydin Island since monitoring began in 1983, with hatchling totals more than double last year, and the season isn’t over yet. Every tiny turtle racing to the sea represents decades of science, protection, and persistence.

MANGROVES: FRONTLINE DEFENDERS Mangroves shield coastal neighborhoods, but Southwest Florida’s forests are under siege.

CHALLENGE: Sea level rise, altered hydrology, and development have left once-thriving mangrove forests at Clam Bay and Goodland Fruit Farm Creek fragmented and vulnerable.

ACTION: Our biologists assessed 300 more mangrove trees than last year, across permanent monitoring plots, tracking forest health and stressors like altered hydrology and storms. Restoration work can breathe strength back into fragile habitats, rebuilding resilience to abate storms and rising seas.

IMPACT: This year’s efforts safeguarded coastal assets, buffered storms, and sheltered wildlife, keeping communities resilient. In 2025, Biologist Kathy Worley marked 30 years of mangrove research at the Conservancy, shaping restoration, informing policy, and laying the scientific foundation to protect these vital ecosystems in our area.

PYTHONS: A 20-TON MILESTONE

6,549 pounds removed 2,945 developing eggs removed

The Conservancy’s python program reached an unprecedented milestone: more than 20 tons of invasive Burmese pythons removed since 2013.

CHALLENGE: These apex predators decimate native species, consuming everything from rabbits to deer. It disrupts the balance of wildlife that shapes our own backyards, neighborhoods, and the natural character of Southwest Florida.

ACTION: Staff biologists and interns tracked 40 scout snakes across 250 square miles to remove breeding females.

This hands-on effort builds on years of research and

removal, culminating in a record-breaking removal season for the Conservancy.

IMPACT: Carried out on the backs of the python team, the Conservancy surpassed a major milestone in 2025.

More than 20 tons of Burmese python removed, capped by a record season of 6,549 pounds! The Conservancy’s python program has collaborated with various universities, federal agencies, and the Naples Zoo to publish 25 scientific research articles to date, including the most recent, investigating reproductive output, adult survivorship, and the python’s impact on seed dispersal.

“So glad you are finding and removing them so wildlife can flourish.”

–Elizabeth W. from Facebook

POLICY FRONT LINES: DEFENDING WETLANDS, WILDLIFE, AND OUR WAY OF LIFE This year, the Conservancy’s Policy team stood guard where decisions about water, land, and wildlife shaped the future of Southwest Florida.

CHALLENGES: Our wetlands and wildlife face mounting pressures. The state attempted to weaken federal Clean Water Act protections, mega-developments threatened panther habitat and wetlands, and Florida approved a controversial black bear hunt. The risks for us: more flooding, more traffic, and fewer natural resources that make our region livable and irreplaceable.

ACTION: We’ve strengthened our water policy team by adding Senior Water Policy Advisor Tammy Ash and Water Policy Specialist Savanna Neb— ensuring we’re fully staffed and ready to tackle the region’s toughest water challenges. The Conservancy and partners continue to defend the court victory that returned Clean Water Act wetland permitting to federal agencies, now under appeal. The Policy team filed comments, provided analysis, and mobilized 7,354 residents through action alerts that went directly to government decision-makers, opposing sprawling projects like Bellmar, Rural Lands West, and Kingston. When the state advanced a bear hunt, our staff addressed the Wildlife Commission, building on years of advocacy for conflict-reduction through trash ordinances and wildlife corridors.

IMPACT: Wetlands and the wildlife they support require review through our foundational federal laws. Furthermore, we are strengthening the dialogue between residents and decisionmakers about community growth, so the public understands the impact future proposed developments will have on our quality of life and our vital natural resources. While the bear hunt was approved, our advocacy keeps a spotlight on accountability and the need for wildlife management rooted in evidence and science.

FROM SYMPOSIUM TO SOLUTIONS The Conservancy’s Working with Nature: Nature-Based and Hybrid Solutions for Resilient Communities symposium brought community stakeholders, elected officials, and agency staff together. The goal: to explore and share nature-based strategies that safeguard our community, protect our environment, and strengthen climate resiliency. From the event came a living library of case studies to help communities learn about more innovative projects with clear insights on cost, resources, and lessons learned.

“Amber and the Conservancy of Southwest Florida Policy team- thanks for your persistent work on behalf of the Florida black bear population! I love that the Conservancy doesn’t just oppose bad policies/practices, it proactively proposes alternate approaches that better address underlying issues.”

–George L., Naples

120 total participants 12 speakers Through a settlement agreement for Rivergrass Village, the Conservancy secured a conservation easement protecting 655 acres of primary panther habitat, permanently safeguarding a vital wildlife corridor linking Golden Gate Estates and the Panther Refuge.

FACTS AT YOUR FINGERTIPS The Policy team launched two interactive tools—the Wetlands Story Map and Panther Dashboard—to put facts directly in the public’s hands. These resources allow residents to see data for themselves, understand the stakes, and stay informed about the challenges and protections shaping Southwest Florida’s most vulnerable habitats and species.

At the von Arx Wildlife Hospital, 3,457 injured, orphaned, or sick animals came through our doors this year as vehicle collisions, habitat loss, and disease persistently endanger native wildlife.

CHALLENGE: In 2025, the avian flu added an alarming new challenge, devastating bird populations and raising concerns for wildlife and caregivers alike.

ACTION: Our wildlife hospital team responded immediately with strict biosecurity protocols, protective equipment, and enhanced intake procedures. Staff trained to recognize symptoms early, and testing was increased on high-risk species, while volunteers adjusted daily routines to safeguard both animals and people.

IMPACT: Thanks to measures quickly put in place, not a single case of avian flu spread to other patients at the von Arx Wildlife Hospital.

From raptors to backyard songbirds, each continues to receive lifesaving care without interruption. Over the decades, the Conservancy has rehabilitated and released tens of thousands of animals back into their natural habitats.

THREE DONORS, FIVE PARTNERS, ONE BOBCAT—WILD AGAIN When a bobcat was struck by a car in Bonita Springs, a Conservancy supporter rushed it to von Arx Wildlife Hospital. Our veterinarian, Dr. Kendall Carlin, worked with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission vet to come up with a treatment plan, while Arthrex supplied the metal plate to repair its forelimb. BluePearl’s surgical team performed the operation and reconstructed its paw so it could hunt again.

South Florida Wildlife Center provided postoperative rehabilitation, and our staff arranged the collaboration with all partners upon the bobcat’s arrival at von Arx Wildlife Hospital.

Three generous donors funded the procedure.

Weeks later, the bobcat returned to the wild— strong, whole, and home again.

SAVING BATS, STRENGTHENING OUR ECOSYSTEM When a bat colony fell from a tree, the Conservancy’s wildlife rehabilitation team responded immediately. Once staff arrived on site, they examined each pup carefully, 156 total. This ensured that there were no major injuries and that each one was healthy enough to return to the wild. With the help of a local tree service, the team safely renested the bats, reuniting them with their colony. Bats play a vital role in nature, acting as pest control, eating up to 1,000 mosquitoes an hour, and helping pollinate plants. This rescue was more than a success story; it strengthened the ecosystem.

This year, the von Arx Wildlife Hospital welcomed rare and remarkable patients— including the fourth-ever short-tailed hawk admitted as a patient.

MAGIC UNDER THE MANGROVES 2025 Voted Best Fundraiser in Naples in the Community's Choice Awards for the second year in a row, the Conservancy of Southwest Florida’s 2025 Magic Under the Mangroves Gala raised more than $1.7 million to support environmental science, policy, education, and wildlife programs.

The March 6 event in Naples drew 450 guests and featured an auction led by Lydia Fenet, highlighted by a record $100,000 winning bid for a voyage aboard MS The World—the highest auction bid in the Conservancy's history. Guests enjoyed RitzCarlton cuisine and performances by Lovebirds Music, opera singer Peter Lake, and country artist Kurt Stevens.

Since 2004, the gala has raised more than $23 million. The 2025 event was co-chaired by Toni and Charlie Mueller and Linda and Victor Grijalva, with Northern Trust as Presenting Sponsor. The Grijalvas will return as chairs in 2026 with Vanessa and Martin Gilvarg.

REDSNOOK CATCH & RELEASE CHARITY FISHING TOURNAMENT 2024 The Conservancy of Southwest Florida’s 2024 RedSnook Catch and Release Charity Fishing Tournament, held October 25–27, raised nearly $210,000 to protect Southwest Florida’s waters.

Fifty-five teams and 140 anglers launched from Naples, Goodland, and Chokoloskee, with events including a Kick-off Celebration at the Conservancy and the Chris Campbell Awards Reception at Northern Trust. Proceeds support vital research and advocacy, including the 2024 report Impacts of Water Quality on the Southwest Florida Economy, which underscores the link between clean water and the region’s prosperity.

EARTH DAY FESTIVAL 2025 The Conservancy’s 2025 Earth Day Festival was voted Naples’ Best Local Event in the Community's Choice Awards for the first time and drew the second-largest crowd in its history, with 2,007 attendees. Families enjoyed hands-on activities with Mr. Glen's Super Science Show, wildlife encounters from Conservancy educators, and community partnerships that inspired action to protect Southwest Florida’s natural treasures.

ANNUAL MEETING 2025 The Conservancy of Southwest Florida welcomed nearly 130 board members, donors, officials, and community leaders to its Annual Member Meeting on January 15. President and CEO Rob Moher announced the transformational grant for the John & Carol Walter Nature Experience, followed by remarks from John Walter on behalf of the family foundation. The evening concluded with a sunset reception on the Lutgert Deck, complete with a champagne toast to celebrate the occasion.
