The Public Trust Environmental Legal Institute of Florida focuses on protecting public lands and waters in the Jacksonville area through advocacy rooted in the Public Trust Doctrine, a constitutional principle in Florida that public lands and waters are held in trust for the use of all people. Based in Jacksonville Beach, Florida, the organization pursues preservation projects and conservation efforts for city lands and other federally and state protected resources. Its work targets environmental policy and legal protection, collaborating with partners to advance conservation initiatives such as tree planting and habitat restoration at local sites. The institute operates within the civic and social sector, supporting legal and environmental advocacy with a small team. A recent development involves a partnership with Cotleur & Hearing to support conservation initiatives at the University of North Florida, Success Park and Garden, and Naval Station Mayport.
