Patrick Carlton

Our family has been part of the Florida landscape for many generations. We have been fortunate to assist in placing many pieces of native Florida into the conservation realm. It is up to all of us, today, to ensure that Florida’s natural environment will be around for generations to come. I am confident that, through the work of Big Waters Land Trust, we will be able to leverage our region’s assets to preserve so much more.

Patrick joined the board in May 2023. He is a 7th generation Floridian, Managing Partner at McCarlton Partners Ltd., and owner of The Carlton Companies, Inc.
