Cedar Key Green Space Project
green space: (noun) an area of land protected from development for the purpose of preserving a community’s natural and historic character
The Cedar Key Green Space Project is one of many projects initiated by Florida’s Nature Coast Conservancy (FNCC), our local 501(c)(3) non-profit designated land trust. FNCC recognizes that green space provides our community with a range of essential and fundamentally irreplaceable services such as protecting water quality, protecting the island’s wildlife, and creating a buffer against over-development. Greenspace also helps the community to reduce flood insurance costs and secure financial investment in improvement projects.
