BREAKING: Tucker Carlson slams Gov. Ron DeSantis for supporting left-wing environmental organizations like @Capt4CleanWater and @EvergFoundation
"Everyone's paid to lie about this and blame the farmer [for water quality issues] [...] You're not gonna make me feel like a socialist, because I'm against building a gas station, or whatever disgusting complex you're getting rich from, and paying off every politician in the state of Florida, including the governor [@GovRonDeSantis]. I'm opposed to that."
"Farmers aren't perfect, [but] there have always been big farms in Florida, the whole middle of the state. That's where I hunt. There's farms, mostly cattle." - @TuckerCarlson
The remarks were made at @IOTRofficial's celebration in Naples for the passage of the Right to Hunt and Fish Amendment 2, with Agriculture Commissioner @WiltonSimpson in the audience
We look forward to working with Sen. Harrell to ensure our state parks are protected now & for future generations of Floridians. We are encouraged by this important step toward squashing further discussion of the idiotic proposals to develop our public lands for private gain.
Talk to any rancher, or any farmer, or to any hunter or angler that’s connected to their chase, and you’ll hear something close to this, if not verbatim.

It’s duck season eve, and we were struck by this quote from the great John James Audubon, juxtaposed with one of the great opportunities we have to connect with wild Florida.

Landscape conservation. It’s the idea that everything is interconnected - woods, water, wildlife - but also us. Communities. People.

Did you know: Florida has one of the longest spans of hunting in the country?
From whitetails to spring turkey, alligators and ducks and snipe, Floridians connect with wildlife through hunting nearly 9 months a year!

This weekend marks the National Day of the Rancher - so many of our images are taken in and around Florida’s working lands. This is the future of wild places in our state.

Gifford Pinchot was Roosevelt’s right hand as a founding father of conservation. Their foresight led to the conservation of millions of acres for generations to appreciate.
That makes us think, often, about our legacy. Will people one day enjoy the shade of trees we’ve planted?
