The 2026 Conservation Summit – The Great Florida Cattle Drive is almost here! As we prepare to gather on Thursday, November 12, we’re taking a moment to recognize the incredible sponsors who are helping make this year’s event possible.
At Horse Farms Forever, our mission to protect Florida’s horse farms, agricultural lands, and open spaces is strengthened by the businesses, organizations, and individuals who believe in the importance of conservation. Their generosity and commitment help us bring together community leaders, landowners, conservation advocates, and agricultural supporters for meaningful conversations about Florida’s future.
This year’s Summit celebrates Florida’s rich ranching heritage while looking ahead to the challenges and opportunities facing our state’s agricultural lands. We’re excited to welcome an outstanding lineup of speakers, including National Geographic Explorer and conservation photographer Carlton Ward Jr. and Florida Commissioner of Agriculture Wilton Simpson, as we explore the importance of preserving Florida’s working landscapes and the traditions that make them so special.
