CLICK HERE TO RSVP ONLINE!! Presenter Biography Mallory Lykes Dimmitt Executive Director, Florida Wildlife Corridor Mallory Lykes Dimmitt is a seventh generation Floridian whose childhood was partly spent exploring the lands and waters of central Florida. She pursued her passion for the outdoors by receiving her B.S. in Natural Resources from the University of the South in Sewanee, Tennessee. She was awarded a Doris Duke Conservation Fellowship at Duke University’s Nicholas School of Environment, where she earned a Masters of Environmental Management (MEM) in Environmental Economics and Policy, as well as a certificate in Non-profit Management. Mallory specializes in large landscape conservation and the nexus of agriculture and conservation, freshwater issues, and payments for ecosystem services. She is a currently a member of Class IX of the Wedgworth Leadership Institute for Agriculture and Natural Resources. Mallory is the Executive Director of the Florida Wildlife Corridor, and recently lead the 2015 Florida Wildlife Corridor Expedition to bring visibility to the Corridor vision and the public-private partnerships to conserve working lands. Previously she led The Nature Conservancy's Colorado Plateau Initiative from Telluride, Colorado, assessing large-scale conservation opportunities in a four-state region of the West, and prior to that directed the Southwest Colorado Project for the Conservancy's Colorado Chapter. Mallory has served as a member of Telluride’s Town Council and has worked with local, regional, state, and federal agencies and organizations on natural resource issues. Some of Mallory’s other projects include research in Sri Lanka for the International Water Management Institute and strategic planning and organizational development with Legacy Institute for Nature & Culture (LINC). Florida Wildlife Corridor The Florida Wildlife Corridor is a conservation advocacy organization focused on connecting, protecting and restoring corridors of conserved lands and waters essential for the survival of Florida’s diverse wildlife. The organization showcases the need to protect the missing links in the Corridor, preserve Florida’s waters, and sustain working lands and rural economies from the Everglades to Georgia and Alabama. A dedicated statewide Corridor will benefit wildlife, watersheds and people for generations to come. The Florida Wildlife Corridor aims to protect and restore connected landscapes throughout the Florida Peninsula and Panhandle to create a viable corridor from the Everglades to Georgia and west to Alabama. The corridor addresses the fragmentation of natural landscapes and watersheds from the Everglades ecosystem north. Contributing to the fragmentation problem is the disconnect between the perceptions of Floridians, and the real need to keep natural systems connected. The Florida Wildlife Corridor is positioned to mend the perception gap through an education and awareness campaign that demonstrates the connection between the landscapes and watersheds. If we show Floridians the panthers, bears, native cultures, ranchlands and rivers—and how they are all connected—then they can help us make the Florida Wildlife Corridor a reality. The centerpiece of this strategy is the Florida Wildlife Corridor Expedition. The first expedition launched January 17, 2012, and traversed the Everglades ecosystem into Big Cypress, over to the Everglades Agricultural Area, back to the Okaloacoochee Slough, across the Caloosahatchee, over to Babcock Ranch, back along Fisheating Creek toward Lake Okeechobee, up the Kissimmee River with excursions toward the Lake Wales Ridge, up the Kissimmee Chain of Lakes, east around Orlando into Ocala National Forest, and north along the O2O corridor (Ocala to Osceola) to Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge. The trek covered over 1,000 miles in 100 days. The vision for the second Florida Wildlife Corridor Expedition is to connect natural lands and waters throughout the northwest region of Florida, from the Green Swamp to the panhandle. Despite extensive fragmentation of the landscape in recent decades, a statewide network of connected natural areas is still possible Take a Friday afternoon off ... 26th Annual Pinellas Chapter FES Golf Tournament 16101 Nine Eagles Dr., Odessa, FL 33556 From Tampa Airport ... to treat yourself, your client or reward your vendor to a great day of golf at one of the most professionally manicured and enjoyable courses in the state.
