The Acquisition and Restoration Council (ARC) received ten new project proposals for the Florida Forever 2024 Cycle 1: Atlantic to Okefenokee Conservation Corridor, Big Bend Forest, Dark Hammock Ranch, Finca Vigia, Lake Harney, Larkin Ranch, Lytal Conservation Area, Suttlemyre Forest, Tupelo Honey Timberlands, and Wooten Timberlands. On December 8, 2023, ARC voted to move all ten proposals on for more detailed review.
 
Section 259.07, Florida Statutes, requires ARC to hold public meetings to take testimony on new Florida Forever proposals “in such areas of the state where the major portions of such land are situated.” ARC will take the required public testimony on these proposals as well as other existing Florida Forever projects.
