This borders the only entrance to my neighborhood in Forest Park III and this proposed property is completely surrounded by families who would be subjected to 12+ hours a day of: noise; diesel odors; and dust six days a week.
My husband and I just moved into Bronson Dec2024 with our 1y/o. Very disappointed to hear this was in the works or we might not have moved to this location. I do not want my little baby growing up around this same mind with the possibility of constant dusty airs and silica floating around. This is unacceptable and doesn’t seem to have considered its surrounding residents before throwing this onto their precious land. We’re better this, Florida. Move the sand mine somewhere AWAY from residents/farms/communities. Thank you.
when i was little and homeschooled we had tons of monarch butterflies around and now i haven’t seen one in years. i hope we can get them back so my kids can enjoy them like i did.
Monarch butterflies are vital pollinators, contributing to the health of ecosystems and agriculture by helping plants reproduce. They also serve as an indicator species, signaling the overall health of our environment and the impacts of climate change and habitat loss! Beyond their ecological importance, monarchs inspire wonder and symbolize transformation, making their conservation a shared responsibility for preserving biodiversity and natural beauty. Let us protect them.
