You may recognize us better under our FORMER doing-business-as name, The Environmental Conservancy of North Port And Surrounding Areas. To better clarify our mission, our Board of Directors decided to change our doing-business-as name to the “Neighborhood Land Conservancy” effective 1/1/2026 to better clarify exactly what we do, which is save neighborhood land for nature!

We are a 501c3nonprofit keeping nature in neighborhoods by acquiring and protecting land parcels in Sarasota/Charlotte Counties so far including 2 in Englewood, 1 in South Gulf Cove, 1 in Gulf Cove and many others across Charlotte County and North Port. Learn more about us at www.neighborhood-land.org.

Proceeds from this event will help fund our Land Acquisition Program.
