CTF mourns the loss of Advisory Board Member Larry D. Harris, PhD

Dr. Larry D. Harris peacefully passed away on Sunday, August 15, 2010. Dr. Harris served on CTF's Advisory Board and he will be greatly missed. He was a visionary in the field of landscape scale conservation and was a Professor at the University of Florida since 1972. Dr. Harris wrote or co-wrote countless articles for both the scientific and lay community on many diverse issues including habitat fragmentation, wildlife corridors, landscape ecology, biodiversity, and global climate change. His 1984 book, The Fragmented Forest: Island Biogeography Theory and the Preservation of Biotic Diversity is a classic.

• Read Tribute to Dr. Harris on the UF Wildlife Ecology and Conservation website.


• By request, in lieu of flowers, people can make donations in Larry's name to the CTF.

CTF collaborated with the Office of Greenways and Trails, the Forest Management Trust, the Florida National Scenic Trail Association, and the

University of Florida to submit a grant application to the Florida Forever program to protect an ecological corridor between Camp Blanding and the Osceola National Forest. In February 2004, the 153,000-acre corridor was listed on the state's Florida Forever land acquisition "A" list by the Governor and the Cabinet. In January 2005, the "A" projects were re-ranked, but the Camp Blanding to Osceola National Forest Ecological Greenway remained on the "A" list. Land acquisition agents are still negotiating with landowners to acquire the greenway.
