Other projects throughout the state, especially in the Jacksonville area, and the central part of the state, have acquired land for wilderness corridors and additional core wilderness (green) areas.
The beautiful green spaces of Jacksonville are one of the things I love about this town. To my knowledge, not one citizen had his/her land "snatched" to make it possible.
Several hundred acres were donated by individuals who don't want Jax to end up like Houston, TX, asphalt and concrete as far as the eye can see. The large number of trees and green spaces also give Jax the clean air we all enjoy.
I was all ready to jump on the bandwagon, on another thread, but now I'm not so sure. Your alarmist phrases have me wondering - what is this really about?
While they're not my phrases, I agree with most of the things eco-logic stands for, including most of this. I don't have a problem with restricted local control, but too much of the actions being foisted on the communities is straight out of the Agenda 21 playbook aided and abetted by the human-hating enviralist whacko organizations and government bureaucrats; and placing onerous burdens on private property and forcing owners into 'willing sellers' of their land for 'conservation'.
Put 'landgrab' into the search block, there's a lot of info around from across the land.
