LAMP 2026-03 — 1365 SR 206

Description

A 21-acre forested property (plus 2.8-acre access parcel) near Matanzas State Forest submitted for possible county conservation easement, with the owner keeping the land for timbering and hunting — no public access.

Impact summary

The marsh, wetlands, and pine flatwoods bordering Matanzas State Forest would be permanently protected, though the public couldn't use the land, and the county won't maintain the private access road.
