Overview

Mission

Amelia tree conservancy (atc) is a diverse coalition of amelia island citizens and friends dedicated to preserving our maritime forest canopy- native island trees, understory and the unique environment they create. Our mission is to: -preserve the maritime forest on amelia island, fl. -educate the public and increase awareness regarding the nature and composition of the amelia island maritime forest canopy ecosystem and its importance in creating a habitat for humans, birds, animals and plants. -promote community engagement in the preservation and welfare of the amelia island canopy. -contribute to the reforestation of lost canopy on amelia island. -use all earnings and property exclusively for these charitable and educational purposes.

What it reported doing in 2024

Atc has effected change through advocacy. Atc testifies at meetings and writes letters regarding trees and our maritime forest, development, wetlands and density issues that impact our trees. Atc also meets with developers, architects, builders, and utility companies. Atc has established and values strong working relationships with other environmental groups on their island. Atc has significantly increased community awareness regarding the importance of our trees as well as the rate of canopy loss by providing presentations, community meetings, booths at wild amelia's eco-expo and other events, activities, articles and advertising. Atc promotes the planting of shade trees in our community and provides support for other organizations undertaking this effort. We have planted trees in egans park and at the boys and girls club and been associated with other planting efforts, such as landscaping at the fernandina beach library.
