Land Conservation Board Meeting On October 28th!

West End Community Alliance for Recreation and Education (WECARE) had submitted a nomination to Alachua County for consideration by Alachua County Forever to acquire the West End Golf Course property on Newberry Road across from Town of Tioga.  A Land Conservation Board (LCB) meeting will take place on Thursday, October 28, 2021 at 5:00 pm 12 SE 1st Street, 2nd Floor, Grace Knight Conference Room.  The public may participate in person, by zoom https://zoom.us/j/93271365115 or by phone 1 929-205-6099.  Meeting ID 93271365115. 

Please join WECARE and let the LCB know how important it is for all the communities west of I-75 to keep this 75.2-acre property for recreation.  This property provides ground water recharge and flood management, a habitat for deer, birds, and other wildlife, and a variety of plants and trees natural to Florida including an endangered creeping star-hair fern.  We humans will also benefit from keeping this property recreational green space by providing better air quality, reduced air temperatures and a place to exercise the body and mind.  

We are counting on you to speak out for the sake of our future and the future of generations to follow.

Thank you.
