The Urgent Need to Save Cape Coral Habitat
With a growth rate of 3.8% to 4.2%, Cape Coral remains a top U.S. housing market, however the growth comes at a steep cost—critical wildlife habitat is disappearing at an alarming pace.
Partnering to Protect Cape Coral Wildlife Habitat
In 2017, Cape Coral Friends of Wildlife (CCFW) founded the Cape Coral Wildlife Trust (CCWT) to expand local conservation efforts. While CCWT acquires and permanently preserves critical habitat, CCFW focuses on fundraising, habitat maintenance, and community education. Together, we protect threatened species like the Burrowing Owl and Gopher Tortoise, securing safe land for over 350 native species. Every dollar raised fuels both preservation and hands-on stewardship—creating a lasting legacy for Cape Coral’s wildlife.
