The Partners Who Saved Fish Island Preserve
The preservation of Fish Island Preserve along the Matanzas River was the result of a remarkable coalition — the City of St. Augustine, Matanzas Riverkeeper, the North Florida Land Trust, and the grassroots advocates of Friends of Fish Island, who earned the 2020 Stewards of Heritage Award for their efforts. It’s a story about what community-driven conservation can accomplish when the right partners show up together.
