Nancy Payton worked to preserve, protect Collier County and the Western Everglades, and if that ruffled feathers, that was just 'too damned bad.'

The Nancy Payton Preserve hiking trails will be closed today 8/25/2021 as Conservation Collier staff and interagency partners will be conducting a controlled burn. The goal of this prescribed burn is to reduce fuel levels on-site to lower the risk of wildfire and to improve habitat for fire-dependent wildlife that utilize the preserve including Florida gopher tortoise, white-tailed deer, Florida panther, bobwhite quail and more! Smoke will be visible near the site just east of Golden Gate City today. Trails will re-open in the days following the burn.
