Today at 1 PM, the successful Environmentally Endangered Lands Program (EEL) will be under discussion at the Brevard County Commission Meeting at the Viera County Commission Chambers in Bldg C  (Google Map for directions to meeting).

According to the meeting agenda, the line item is *1:00 p.m. 3. Citizen Request, Re: Amy Tidd – EEL Program Procedures.

Apologies for the lateness of this alert, but my friends in Brevard County sent me this late yesterday:

“County Commissioner Anderson went on the Bill Mick radio show this morning and asked all persons who are against the EEL program to come to tomorrow’s Commission meeting!

This is our chance to fill the room and show the Commission that wide support still exists for EEL and the wildlife and plants it protects and the nature-based recreation it offers. You don’t need to speak unless you choose. Wear green, if possible, to identify the Defenders of the EEL Program, its  lands and wildlife, and our rights as citizens and taxpayers for assurance  that county policy, procedures, and Charter requirements are followed.”

If you live in the region and have enjoyed hikes at such diverse places as Enchanted Forest Sanctuary, Maritime Forest Sanctuary, Turkey Creek Sanctuary, Micco Scrub, Coconut Point Sanctuary, and the dozens of other Brevard lands that were purchased through citizens taxing themselves to preserve land for recreation, habitat, and future generations, please attend this meeting to make your feelings known about the importance of this conservation program.
