In 2004, TPL conveyed the historic Broward House to the National Park System as an addition to the Timucuan Trail State and National Parks, where it will serve as a gateway to historic Fort George Island and the parks.

TPL works to conserve land to create new parks in areas that are park deficient, expand established parks, and obtain private in-holdings in existing parks to make them whole.

Over the years, The Trust for Public Land has added 48,000 acres to Everglades National Park, permanently safeguarding critical habitat area from development.

In 2004, TPL worked with the Fort Mose Historical Society, St. Johns County, and the City of St. Augustine to acquire an eight-acre addition to Ft. Mose Historic State Park

From iconic theme parks to historic homes of Florida's founding fathers, TPL works with communities to protect these extraordinary places.
