In a continuing effort to improve communication with landowners Big Cypress National Preserve staff will hold a meeting specifically for landowners at the Preserve Headquarters (located on U.S. 41 four miles east of S.R. 29) on Saturday, April 26 beginning at 1:00 pm.

There are over 300 privately held parcels within the Preserve. We hope to offer presentations on several topics of interest specifically to those who own property here at Big Cypress. Topics to be covered include the Land Protection Plan, and the new Questions and Answers for Landowners brochure; Qualifying for exemptions in the Preserve Addition; the 2007 Fire Season and camp protection; Ranger Activities; and Resource Management. Light refreshments will be served.

If you plan on attending, please r.s.v.p. to (239) 695-1105 with your name, camp number, phone number, and how many people you will bring to the meeting. If you have any questions related to this announcement please contact Christine Clark at (239) 695-1153.

Alligator hatching season is typically September through October in South Florida. A female can lay up to 50 eggs, about 45 of which will hatch, but only 2 or 3 will make it beyond the first two years of life.
