Thank you, Senator Passidomo, for speaking out to protect our wild spaces! We agree that the current proposal should not move forward and that any proposal for additions to state parks should protect and preserve natural habitats and enhance passive recreation.

We are extremely disappointed by the budget cuts to Conservation Collier through reduced funding at the millage rollback rate (a 9% cut) and the raid of almost $49 million from the Conservation Collier Land Acquisition and Maintenance Funds.

Sea turtle nesting may be coming to a close on Southwest Florida beaches, but the hatching of their nests is proceeding full steam. Although not a record like last year, an above-average year of 515 nests on Keewaydin Island has our biologists busy.
