BRADENTON — Manatee County residents who want to help protect land and water resources, preserve fish and wildlife habitat, and provide passive recreation are invited to apply for an At-Large position on the Environmental Lands Management and Acquisition Committee (ELMAC).
The Environmental Lands Program has been working on implementing the community-initiated Conservation and Parks Projects Referendum, which was approved by voters and authorized millions of dollars for the acquisition, improvement, and management of land to protect natural resources and provide parks.
This citizen’s advisory committee makes recommendations to the Board of County Commissioners on environmental land acquisition and management issues, including recreational planning and programming of public lands. ELMAC also serves as the Tree Advisory Board to promote awareness of the County-wide tree canopy and tree education programs.
Applications for this At-Large appointment will be accepted from March 22 through April 19, 2024, and can be found here. The only requirement for this position is that the applicant resides in Manatee County.
ELMAC typically meets on the first Monday of every other month at 6:00 pm in the Manatee Room at 1112 Manatee Ave W, in Bradenton. More information about the ELMAC can be found here.
