    I’m with Steve. This is pristine acreage and home to many of the animals that have been pushed out due to the growth in our area. Too bad the County or State won’t buy it and do us all a favor and put us a walking and biking trail that winds through it with parks for our children, similar to the numerous ones in other parts of the county (read in the south end from the interstate to the Gulf of Mexico). Maybe we all need to communicate more with Mr. Barry, our County Commissioner, including me.

    Thank god, I sure hope this 160 acres will stay agriculture and the wetlands contained within never destroyed by developers.
