In good news, the St. Johns County Board of County Commissioners has taken an important step forward for conservation in this fast-growing county by adding $2 million to the budget of the recently restarted Land Acquisition and Management Program (LAMP). Originally approved for only $500,000 in annual funding, this year鈥檚 increase will build capacity within the program that is eager to move forward. The LAMP secures critical components of green infrastructure that preserve wildlife and our quality of life in St. Johns County. 约炮视频 Florida and St. Johns Regional 约炮视频 supported the program restart and budget increase.
鈥淭his is a major win for conservation in St. Johns County," says Chris Farrell, 约炮视频鈥檚 Northeast Florida policy associate. "We applaud these efforts and look forward to collaborating with the commission and the LAMP as we ensure the future of our cultural and natural heritage.鈥
约炮视频 will work with elected officials and county staff to increase the program鈥檚 budget over time.
