Description

In this episode of The Ground Up Podcast, I sit down with Lake County Commissioner Sean Parks for a wide-ranging conversation on local leadership, land conservation, and the future of Florida’s landscapes.

We explore the overwhelming success of the Lake Forever referendum, which passed with 80% voter approval to fund land conservation in Lake County, and discuss planning tools like Transfer of Development Rights (TDRs), and the proposed Wellness Way Landscape Ordinance under consideration right now. 

Sean and I had originally recorded this live at the Florida Wildlife Corridor Foundation's Corridor Connect Summit. Sadly technical issues made publishing it impossible. I am grateful to Sean Parks for agreeing to reshoot at Cherrylake. 

I hope you enjoy this episode! Please leave me some feedback in the comments.
