Forever Florida and State Mitigation Land Management
Our state conservation lands are being managed by a wide variety of agencies but mostly the Department of Forestry. This agency has not been producing management plans or practices to enhance biodiversity but is systematically turning many of these lands (including FFWCC gopher tortoise Mitigation lands) into pine plantations with a density of 600 trees per acre. Please write the director and to the governor as well as the FFWCC about this issue.
