Protecting Southwest Florida's unique natural environment and quality of life
Smith Preserve Way, Naples
Joined June 2010
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 have worked hard to improve our state parks with the goal of protecting and preserving natural habitats, and enhancing access to passive recreational activities like hiking, biking, or canoeing. (1/2).

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.
