Local Stewards
Introduction to St. Johns County
- St Johns County Population 1975 = 40,000
- estimate 2025 = 350,000
- 50 yrs growth approximately 9x
A somewhat frightening statistic wouldn’t you say? And its increasing at a more rapid rate.
The challenges facing the Natural World (and us, of course) are magnifying. And given the dominating influence of short term developmental interests at the County level, we have our work cut out for us.
We need to act together to make a difference and involve as many caregivers as possible.
Here are some of the organizations making a difference and needing assistance from the general public.
