Your help is needed to oppose an application
for a landfill adjacent to Green Swamp

The Florida Department of Environmental Protection is expected to issue on Dec. 12 a letter of intent to approve/deny permit applications for a Class 1 landfill in Pasco County on a site that would be less than a mile from the Withlacoochee River and adjacent to the Hillsborough River and the headwaters of the Green Swamp.

The FWC (Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission) heard a sobering summary of a report being prepared describing what might happen in Florida’s environment by 2060, unless residents and leaders adopt smart growth strategies. The report, titled "Florida 2060: What’s at stake for wildlife?" is available on the FWC website. It notes, based on a report by 1000 Friends of Florida, that the state’s human population could double to 36 million, and millions of acres of important wildlife habitats could disappear beneath development, unless Florida adopts different growth patterns.

What does the future hold for Florida’s fish and wildlife? That’s up to all of us.
