Alachua County Commissioner Ken Cornell will speak on environmental issues at this meeting sponsored by the Suwannee St. Johns Group Sierra Club.
Published by Suwannee-St Johns Sierra Club
The Suwannee – St. Johns group of the Florida chapter of the Sierra Club was founded by Ken and Betty Watson and has been active since 1971. The Sierra Club was founded in 1892 in California by John Muir, Joseph LeConte, and others. Their goal was to “enlist the support and cooperation of the people and government in preserving the forests and other natural features of the Sierra Nevada.” For years, Muir had hiked the mountains of California and shared the wonders he found with others, including President Theodore Roosevelt.

Dear Members of the Board;
Thank you for allowing Mike Kern and I to come by 4-24 to explain the development at Rock Bluff Spring. We appreciate any help you can offer. I surely came to the right group. Thanks to Jim Tatum for the invite, and big appreciation for your support letter to SRWMD and FWC asking a environmental study before turning Rock Bluff into a Public Park. If anything I can do to explain our materials, or you have any questions, please call me, or e-mail. SRWMD has put us off and asks us to just TRUST they will do the right thing. We have a previous experience with SRWMD, trust is not an option. They will cave in to others interests, and lie to us. Once Burned, Big Story. I will share another time. We want it on paper. The wet land and spring are worth the effort, we must try. I will do what I can and offer support to conserve this beautiful area. Do ask.
I am stalled right now, as I do not know what else I can do. I do not believe in just words anymore.
With appreciation,
Aline
