I created a google map with gopher tortoise burrow locations, and will continue to update it. I believe you'll need to send me a google email address to get access to it, please email me at elliotgriffin@hotmail.com with "jetta" in the subject if interested. https://earth.google.com/earth/d/1soQ46r9R_eQv8yGWPEa53xHgLMQiSt77?usp=sharing
There will be a Seminole County meeting on this topic in the coming weeks, but the date hasn't been set yet. There will be time in the meeting for public input. I will post an update as soon as I have the date and time.
As I receive reference documentation on the topic, I post it to www.facebook.com/groups/jettapoint and the group contains a "files" section for this purpose. Please consider joining to stay informed.
