The Environmentally Sensitive Lands Protection Program (ESLPP) is a program in Sarasota County dedicated to acquiring and preserving the natural Florida habitat within the county. The program is funded by taxes and was approved by voters in March 1999.[1] A second referendum was approved by voters in November 2005 extending the program to 2029 and including neighborhood parkland acquisitions.

The program's first purchase was for 108 acres (44 ha) of land at the intersection of State Road 776 and Manasota Beach Road in 2000, which developed into Manasota Scrub Preserve.[2]
