Green PLACE (Park Land Acquisition for Conservation and Environmental Protection) is an initiative to preserve, enhance, and restore environmentally sensitive lands within Orange County, Florida. This program encourages the establishment of regional corridors, greenways, and blueways. Preservation of environmentally sensitive lands is an essential tool used by federal, state, local, and private organizations to preserve natural resources, protect imperiled wildlife and plant species, provide nature-based recreational opportunities, and provide wildlife corridors for species that require a sizeable geographic distribution such as the Florida black bear and the Florida panther.
