More 20/20 Land Purchased on Pine Island

Contuning efforts to preserve Pine Islands enviromental sensitive lands, the Calusa Land Trust earned another victory last week saving another 110 acres on the island. The property is located northeast of Stringfellow Rd five miles east of Harbour Dr in Bokeelia. The land was purchased for $1.345 million. The CLT contributed $5,000 toward the purchase and will assist the county with the management. "With our limited resources, it would be impossibale for the Calusa Land Trust to aquire important properties such as this one. We now have a very good working relationship with those involved in the 20/20 program and they have been very good to us here on Pine Island" said CLT President Harold Bruner.
