Now celebrating its seventh year, the 2012 Florida Ranches Calendar illustrates the breathtaking beauty of Florida's extraordinary ranch lands. It captures a unique look at the generations of environmental stewardship that have occurred on these cattle ranches and the critical role they play in honoring and preserving Florida's agricultural heritage.
As in past years, the photography of renowned photojournalist Carlton Ward Jr. serves as the cornerstone of the calendar. Set amidst a backdrop of oak hammocks and expansive pasturelands, the photographs are complemented with informational articles about current conservation planning efforts and agricultural initiatives.
We hope the calendar will bring you insight into the rich cultural and environmental heritage of Florida's oldest and largest industry, while providing a glimpse of its incredible beauty.
