The
State of Florida is looking for public input into the 10 year management plan
for the Box-R Wildlife Management Area just west of Apalachicola.
The Box-R Wildlife Management Area includes over 11
thousand acres in Franklin and Gulf counties.
The area was once known as the Box-R Ranch.
The Wildlife Management Area is used for a number of outdoor
activities including hunting, fishing, kayaking, and horseback riding.
It is also a good location for bird watching and wildlife
viewing with bird and animal species including wood storks and white ibis as
well as alligators and otters.
The
10-year management plan spells out how the property can be used, including any
amenities that might be provided.
Hunting and fishing regulations are
not included in this plan, because they are addressed through a separate public
process.
There
will be a public hearing on the draft management plan on Thursday,
November 5th at the Franklin County Courthouse in
Apalachicola.
The public will then be able to comment on the draft land management
plan and offer suggestions.
