The Acquisition and Restoration Council (ARC) received five new Florida Forever project proposals for the Florida Forever 2020 Cycle 2: Abington Ranch, Bluefield to Cow Creek, Crayfish Habitat Restoration, Welannee Watershed Forest and Withlacoochee River Addition. On June 12, 2020 ARC voted to move all five 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.” In accordance with Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Department’s Emergency Final Order requires DEP to hold all public meetings and hearings by electronic means to encourage public engagement while protecting public health, ARC will take the required public testimony on these proposals as well as other existing Florida Forever projects.
