🌱 Wild Lots
Protecting Florida’s Forgotten Land, One Lot at a Time
Every day, more of Florida’s wild, open land disappears—cleared, paved, and built over in the name of “growth.” Developers snatch up small lots in rural counties and turn them into cookie-cutter homes, RV parks, or speculative real estate flips. These lots may not be big enough for a nature preserve, but they matter.
They’re habitat. They’re sponge for rainwater. They’re home to owls, insects, gopher tortoises, and native plants. They are Florida.
Wild Lots exists to keep them wild.
What We Do
We buy cheap, overlooked lots in rural Florida and protect them from development—forever. That means:
- No houses
- No RV hookups
- No clearing, no grading, no resale
- Just nature, left alone
We place each lot into a legal trust or conservation status, so it can never be developed. Every lot we protect is one less piece of land turned into asphalt or profit.
This isn’t about creating big parks or eco-tourism trails. It’s about holding the line.
Why It Matters
Most people don’t think small lots matter. But they’re part of the bigger picture.
- They connect larger wild spaces
- They support native species that are running out of room
- They store water and reduce flooding
- They slow down the cancerous spread of sprawl
- And most of all, they send a message: not everything is for sale
You don’t need a billion dollars to save land. You just need enough people who care.
Who’s Behind Wild Lots?
I’m just one person with a deep love for Florida’s wild places and a growing sense that no one’s going to protect them unless we do it ourselves. I don’t have a foundation or a boardroom. I have a phone, a laptop, and a mission: to preserve as many lots as I can while there’s still time.
This started as a personal goal. But the more people I talk to, the more I realize how many others are sick of watching the woods disappear.
So now it’s a movement—small, scrappy, and built lot by lot.
How You Can Help
Right now, the best way to support Wild Lots is simple: text me.
📱 Text (458) 221-0537
Ask a question. Say hi. Share a lead on a lot. Or just let me know you’re with me.
Soon, we’ll have donation tools and a way to sponsor specific lots. But I want this to grow slowly, with intention, not noise.
If you’re a landowner, a donor, or someone who just wants to keep Florida wild, I want to hear from you.
Land Isn’t Just a Resource.
It’s a responsibility.
Let’s protect what’s still left. Not later. Now.
