The Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) announced an initiative yesterday proposing major changes to various State Parks throughout Florida.
Today, with only one week's notice, FDEP announced public meetings throughout the state scheduled for 3 p.m. on Tuesday, August 27th. The meetings will consist of a presentation and an opportunity for public comment, but with only an hour allotted, they do not appear to include a question-and-answer period.
To voice your concerns about these proposals and the lack of public participation, send your customizable email to the Governor, the Secretary of FDEP, and your state representatives. Adding your connection to Florida's State Parks in the email can help them understand how important this issue is to you, their constituent.
if you are able to make it to one of these, i strongly recommend you do. otherwise please send a message. we dont need fucking golf and pickleball in our already threatened natural areas
I'll add this petition regarding Jonathan Dickinson SP.
Here is a link to the National Audobon Society post on the issue, which in turn links to their letter writing campaign. Please take the time to send one.
If you're not from Florida, your voice probably still matters a lot, since tourism is king
this is another thing Florida does not need in the series of climate & environment related hits from Ron DeSantis. please make your voice heard
