?? I published a second #FGCU360 story last week about Florida Gulf Coast University professor Dr. Win Everham and graduate student Charley Vance, who are deeply involved in #research on the #restoration of Picayune Strand State Forest. Reflecting on their story, here are three takeaways I believe are valuable for anyone passionate about #sustainability or big-picture problem-solving: 1. ????’?? ?????????? ?????? ???????? ???? ???????????? ????????????. Picayune Strand was once a failed real estate development. Now, it’s a flourishing restoration project. Even large-scale mistakes can be corrected with vision and commitment. 2. ?????????????????????? ???????? ????????????, ?????? ?????????????? ????. Restoration efforts succeed when we work with natural systems instead of trying to control them. It’s a lesson in humility and practicality. 3. ?????????????? ???????????????? ?????? ???????????????? ????????????????. Dr. Everham’s mentorship of grad students and FGCU’s collaboration in Southwest Florida prove that teamwork leads to impactful change. Let’s continue asking how we can live sustainably in #SouthwestFlorida and beyond. ?? Read the story here: https://lnkd.in/eZG9e-jw #Everglades #Picayune #TheWaterSchool #FGCU

We’ve received numerous emails, texts, and calls about the proposed Withlacoochee State Forest golf course land swap. It is thrilling to know we have so many members concerned about this issue and ready to take action. FNPS President Gene Kelly made a field visit to the 324-acre Withlacoochee State Forest parcel with another local biologist last weekend and has been reviewing GIS data and other relevant information about the two parcels since we first heard about the proposed land swap. From our preliminary assessment of the issue, we don't believe there is a valid basis for finding that this parcel of the Withlacoochee State Forest lacks conservation value. We doubt this land swap proposal is justified and the issue is not on the upcoming September 12th Acquisition and Restoration Council (ARC) meeting agenda. We are actively working on this issue in partnership with an alliance of conservation organizations, and are poised to take strategic action on your behalf. We remain ready to issue a formal Action Alert if and when necessary. While we share your sense of urgency, we do not have to act with the same immediacy required by the attack on our state parks. The state is well aware of the public’s disgust with the ongoing assault on our conservation lands and the weight of your support buoys our ability to influence the final outcome of this proposal. Please stand ready for future action. To sign up for email action alerts on this and future issues -> https://lnkd.in/erc2_xb6

Rock Leaf ecologist Ellysa Johnson joined our team in the spring and led the effort to develop an enhancement framework consisting of surveys and management action flowcharts for the Minnesota Board of Water and?Soil Resources (BWSR). These materials were officially?launched in October and will assist Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) employees in determining?the eligibility of Reinvest in Minnesota (RIM) easements for funding through the General Fund and help define enhancement strategies to create a more resilient landscape.
