FWC statement on Split Oak Forest is currently managed to enhance and preserve the habitat of the gopher tortoise, as well as other wildlife and plants. History Portions of Split Oak were once used............ To this... The Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission decided instead to let its executive director continue to negotiate with Osceola and Orange counties, who share ownership of the 1,700-acre preserve but have differing opinions on the best path for the Osceola County Parkway extension. www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/wildlife-commission-decides-to-keep-split-oak-road-option-alive/ar-AA1l3kvi |

Progress (i.e money in their pocket) over conservation.

My wife wrote the passive use recreation plan for Split Oak and designed all the trails and facilities. She is pissed and some Gville locals have put together a petition. Not a good precedent to set at all.

Contractually, I can't say anything about my involvement or what I think they are doing... They been trying to appease folks - I've walked, ridden, and flown the entire thing.

1 acre in exchange for 10? Sounds like a good investment for conservation in that area.
It doesn’t really seem like something worth getting bent about though.

Don’t think there won’t be any roads on that 1,500 acres, if it doesn’t go for conservation.
They should look at how to achieve the best overall outcome for conservation. And that may well be with the road bisecting the current split oak property and adding 1,500 new acres to it.
