Alachua County is seeking applicants to fill one anticipated citizen-at-large vacancy on the Land Conservation Board (LCB). Those passionate about protecting water resources, creating larger, interconnected wildlife corridors, or protecting places for passive public recreation are encouraged to apply. The application deadline is April 3, 2026. The term for the volunteer position ends on Sept. 30, 2028.
The LCB provides an opportunity for citizen involvement in selecting Alachua County Forever conservation lands. The Board reviews and recommends properties for acquisition through the Alachua County Forever Program to the County Commission and provides feedback on stewardship issues.
The board meets in person, typically on the fourth Thursday of each month at 6 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.
