The Florida Natural Areas Inventory is Florida's Natural Heritage Program and state member of the NatureServe network. We are housed within the Florida Resources and Environmental Analysis Center at Florida State University . We manage a database of current information on Florida's rarest species, maintain an inventory of the state's conservation land holdings, and conduct ecological surveys and analyses to support conservation planning and land management. Our program is entirely supported by project
FNAI monitors the structure and composition of vegetation on FWC wildlife management areas to guide land management, particularly the application of prescribed fire. Find out more about this program here!
Following Hurricane Michael, FNAI worked with the Florida Park Service and the US Air Force to analyze the impacts of the storm, and subsequent recovery work, on natural resources under their management.
