Meeting in Stuart will discuss Restoration Reserve on land south of Lake Okeechobee.
The Rivers Coalition, www.riverscoalition.org, will discuss a proposal that would establish a “restoration reserve” on Big Sugar-owned lands the state of Florida is considering buying. The meeting starts at 11 a.m. on Thursday, Jan. 29 at Stuart City Hall on Flagler Ave.
State plans include buying 180,000 acres of polluted sugar land in order to restore the original flow of Everglades’ River of Grass. The restoration reserve would be made up of restored wetland for the public to use for hiking, fishing, kayaking, birding, duck hunting, and conservation and education centers.
