SFWMD to Provide Update on Cattle Grazing Land Leasing Activities to Projects & Lands Committee Today
West Palm Beach, FL
- South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) staff will present an update to its Project & Lands Committee on two specific cattle grazing leases:
SFWMD's leasing program assists in managing lands acquired for water management purposes or for ecosystem restoration prior to project implementation. Lease holders temporarily keep public lands in production, pay taxes and local assessments, control exotic vegetation and implement agricultural Best Management Practices for water quality improvements. Revenues generated by the leases are used to support land management activities throughout the District.
Public comment is welcomed at this meeting. Following discussion, these two items will be presented to SFWMD's Governing Board for consideration.
Meeting: South Florida Water Management District Project & Lands Committee Meeting
When: Wednesday, Nov. 9, 2 p.m.
Where: SFWMD Headquarters -
3301 Gun Club Road, West Palm Beach, FL 33406
The meeting can also be viewed live at the SFWMD homepage at www.sfwmd.gov.
