Two Jacksonville families donated more than 30 acres to the nonprofit North Florida Land Trust.
The trust said it will sell the properties to raise money for the organization.
“We plan to use these properties to raise money for our mission and will be selling them to interested parties,” said Jim McCarthy, president of North Family Land Trust, in a news release Wednesday.
The Wilensky family donated more than 21 acres near the Jacksonville-Baldwin border.
The property is accessible from Boykin Lane and is separated by the construction of the U.S. 301 bypass.
McCarthy said the land has little environmental value, but would be good for commercial or industrial use.
The property donated by the Hoffman family is more than 8 acres near Vernice and Lanier roads in North Jacksonville.
The property does have conservation value, but access is limited by private property and the trust plans to sell the land to a neighbor, the release said.
McCarthy said donations allow the organization to buy land with high conservation value.
Its been a big week for donations to the trust.
On Thursday, the Nowicki family donated more than 522 acres along the Ocala to Osceola, or O2O, wildlife corridor in Columbia County.
The property is two miles south of the Florida-Georgia border in White Springs.
On Tuesday, South Doctors Lake, Ltd. donated 388 acres in Clay County along Black Creek and Doctors Lake.
The property is in Fleming Island and Middleburg and is adjacent to the trust’s Black Creek Preservation Priority Area.
The North Florida Land Trust supports environmental protection primarily in Baker, Bradford, Clay, Duval, Flagler, Nassau, Putnam, St. Johns, Union and Volusia counties.
