County Seeks Applicants for Land Conservation Board

​​Alachua County is seeking applicants to fill three anticipated vacancies on the Land Conservation Board (LCB). If you are passionate about protecting water resources, creating larger interconnected wildlife corridors, or interested in protecting places for passive public recreation, the county encourages you to apply.

The upcoming vacancies are two citizen at-large positions and one alternate with terms ending on Sept. 30, 2028.

The LCB provides an opportunity for citizen involvement in the selection of Alachua County Forever Conservation lands, which are funded through the voter-approved Wild Spaces Public Places surtax. The board reviews and recommends properties for acquisition through the Alachua County Forever Program to the County Commission and provides feedback on stewardship issues.

Meeting Details

The board meets in person, typically on the fourth Thursday of each month at 5:30 p.m. at the Alachua County Administration Building (12 SE 1st St., Gainesville) in the Grace Knight Conference Room. Meetings generally last one to two hours, though they may vary depending on the agenda.

Interested applicants may apply online here. Click "View Vacancies" in the top right and scroll down to the Land Conservation Board. Please submit applications by Nov. 17, 2024.
