LOXA-LUCIE PRESENTATION BY THE GUARDIANS

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

executive summary

The Loxa-Lucie Headwaters Initiative envisions a protected ecological corridor that will connect the sources of the Loxahatchee River and St. Lucie River and form a preserve for plant and wildlife, connecting a land mass of nearly 70,000 acres.  This Initiative is a multi-year project beginning with acquisition of Phase 1 which is 138-acres and has been for sale for several years.  By acquiring this land, one goal is to restore the hydrology of the area.  The Initiative is sponsored by The Guardians of Martin County and the Treasured Lands Foundation who are working with The Conservation Fund.
