Mission Statement

Plan C Initiative is a non-profit organization established to empower Florida communities to develop ecological landscapes; that is, biologically diverse spaces that support people and wildlife, and enhance biological and social connectivity.

We envision ecological landscaping becoming the prevailing approach to urban landscaping in Florida, and as a result we expect to have communities that are more self-reliant and sustainable. Ultimately, we see the urban areas in the Tampa Bay region becoming one large ecological landscape that will support increased biodiversity and provide a variety of services to humans and wildlife.

Description

  • Engaging communities in re-thinking the function of their yards and other green spaces.
