The Trust for Public Land announced that its Jacksonville office is working to create a comprehensive St. Johns River Greenprint, a detailed conservation plan that will identify key natural sites within the St. Johns watershed and establish priorities for which sites to save, how they should be used and managed, and which are suitable for river-based commercial uses such as marinas, restaurants, hotels, and fuel sales. The greenprinting will begin in Putnam County. For more details go to:

Comment: Greenprinting is a technique that a community can use to help envision, develop and plan its green infrastructure.  Wildlife habitat protection can be an important part of the resulting benefits of these efforts.
