Greetings!

Summertime....and the parking is easy at Mickler's Beach in the evening. Come join us

a week from Wednesday (July 26) and indulge in an after dinner treat, toss a few frisbees and discuss our plans to prepare for county hearings which will likely be set in the near future. BYOBC (Bring Your Own Beach Chair) - no alcohol on the beach please! Raindate Thursday, July 27.  Mark your calendar to Meet, Greet, and Eat a Sweet (or two)! 

Bring a beverage and a chair or towel.  Park at Micklers, walk towards the beach, then you'll see our signs.  We're suggesting a $5 donation to Save Guana Now.   And if you want to purchase a yard sign, we'll have them available. Reply here if you'd like to bring a dessert.

To catch up on our latest press since Ponte Vedra Corp. responded to the county and submitted a new application, see links below.  Good coverage! The only correction we would make is that Save Guana Now does not just represent residents who live near the Outpost.  We now have 520 subscribers from Fleming to Amelia Islands, Gainesville to Jacksonville, and even out of state.

Stay tuned for more coverage in the Ponte Vedra Recorder this coming Thursday.

UPDATE: Defenders of Wildlife joins four other environmental groups who endorse the efforts of Save Guana Now to stop development at the Outpost. Mike Adams, Senior Florida Representative at Defenders of Wildlife provided the following statement: 

"It makes sense for many economic and ecological reasons to conserve this 99 acre tract that is contiguous to the 12,000 acre Guana River Marsh Aquatic Preserve and part of the 73,000 acre Guana, Matanzas,Tolomato National Estuarine Research Reserve, one of only 29 such reserves in the country. Evidence exists that the Outpost property likely contributes important habitat for over a dozen imperiled wildlife species to include the gopher tortoise and many aquatic wading birds."  

Thank you Defenders of Wildlife! And thank you North Florida Land Trust, 1000 Friends of Florida, Audubon Society and Sierra Club for continuing to stand up for preserving environmentally sensitive land at the Outpost. See their endorsements on our homepage.
