Clay County will be hosting three public workshops in April so neighbors can learn more about the proposed Clay County Land Conservation Program, and also have the opportunity to share which natural resources matter most to them.  This feedback will help the Clay County Board of County Commissioners develop land conservation policies, evaluate appropriate projects, and implement a successful land conservation program.  North Florida Land Trust, a nonprofit focused on protecting and preserving the natural places of North Florida, has partnered with Clay County to conduct these workshops. Each workshop below will begin at 6 p.m.

• Monday, April 10th at the Keystone Heights Historic Beach Pavilion (565 S. Lawrence Blvd., Keystone Heights)
• Thursday, April 13th at the Middleburg/Clay Hill Public Library (2245 Aster Ave., Middleburg)
• Wednesday, April 19th at the Clay County Administration Building (477 Houston St., Green Cove Springs)

The workshops are public meetings and therefore open to the public and all interested persons are invited to attend and be heard. In addition, one or more members of the Planning Commission and/or the Board of County Commissioners may be in attendance at one or more workshops.

Pursuant to Section 286.0105, Florida Statutes, a person deciding to appeal any decision made by the Commission with respect to any matter considered at the meeting or at any subsequent meeting to which the Commission has continued its deliberations is advised that such person will need a record of all proceedings and may need to ensure that a verbatim record of all proceedings is made, which must include the testimony and evidence upon which the appeal is to be based.
