For those farm owners who may have some conservation areas set aside to protect native habitat and wildlife, here is a great opportunity that you might be interested in especially if this area protects gopher tortoise sites.  It is nice when we can point to programs on farm that benefits the greater community by protecting biodiversity.  Release No. 152012 Contact: Jeffrey Woods, 352-338-9515

It is all student volunteers at the moment
