The Florida Cabinet this week agreed to buy two North Florida properties including one that will help protect the Apalachicola River.
The state will buy 552 acres in Gadsden and Liberty County which will be added to the Torreya State Park. The purchase will increase public access while protecting the water quality of the Apalachicola River.
The state also agreed to purchase 106 acres in Putnam County as an addition to Etoniah Creek State Forest and acquired a nearly 1400 acre conservation easement in Levy County within the Goethe State Forest.
The purchases were made through The Florida Forever program which was established in 1999 to conserves environmentally sensitive land, restore waterways and preserve important cultural and historical resources.
