Cape Coral Wildlife Trust, Inc. was formed in order to acquire land for education, research, and for the preservation of Cape Coral's indigenous wildlife.
As of April 2024, Cape Coral was the fourth fastest-growing city in the United States among cities with populations over 100,000, growing at a rate of nearly 7% per year.

After 3 years of advocacy by Cape Coral Wildlife Trust and Cape Coral Friends of Wildlife, folks gathered to celebrate the successful acquisition of five lots by the City of Cape Coral - made possible by a $900,000 grant from Florida Fish & Wildlife and the Fish & Wildlife Foundation of Florida.

Wildlife habitats are being demolished by rapid real estate development which is displacing our native wildlife faster than it can adjust and relocate. We purchase land to ensure all native wildlife have a safe home forever. Please donate today!
In 2017, Cape Coral Friends of Wildlife (CCFW) founded our organization, Cape Coral Wildlife Trust. Whereas we acquire wildlife habitat for preservation, CCFW coordinates fundraising, wildlife habitat maintenance, and community education. A portion of the money they raise goes to CCWT for conservation lot purchases.
