Letters of support needed.

Apologies for topic variation but when such things change, we all are impacted.

 

The (Florida) The Sunshine State Horse Council has been advised that the "no hunting status" of  the Kissimmee Prairie State Preserve might be threatened. A letter campaign from Florida hunters to

Governor Lawton Chiles is said to be underway with a public hearing slated for October 1, 1998, 9.a.m., in the Douglas Bldg.  From my understanding the Preserve was purchased from owners who had not allowed hunting. The lands were purchased with CARL  Funds.  Very few lands are none hunting in the state.  There is a large consensus by trail riders and some DEP folks that hunting should be banned on this preserve for many reasons.  SSHC is

seeking help with letter writing to The Honorable Lawton Chiles

                                                 The Capitol   

                                                 Tallahassee, Fl. 32399

 

Please, just a few simple lines of support to keep the Preserve open year round to riders, bikers, hikers, etc.

 

Florida people, please join in...it didn't use to matter...now it does.
