These lands amount to 23,903 acres, and of that total, Orange County is responsible for managing 5,900 acres.<\/p>\n<p>Land management activities include controlled burns, invasive species management, restoration, forestry management, and wildlife and vegetation monitoring.<\/p>\n<p>In order to further strengthen protection of valuable wetlands, the Orange County Board of County Commissioners recently voted unanimously to update its <a href=\"https:\/\/orangecountyfl.net\/Environment\/Wetlands.aspx\">Wetland Conservation Areas Ordinance<\/a>. These updates, which go into effect in June 2024, will strengthen protection of wetlands and surface waters, make permitting processes more streamlined, predictable and consistent for applicants, and ensure that natural resource protections are balanced with property rights.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBuilding a sustainable and prosperous community requires a state-of-the-art regulatory framework for development, particularly with respect to Orange County\u2019s environmentally sensitive areas,\u201d said Ren\u00e9e Parker, Manager, Orange County Environmental Protection Division. &#8220;Just as we join together as county officials, business leaders, members of the community and nature lovers to celebrate Earth Day, we also have the opportunity to act every day to model creative solutions to the myriad environmental problems facing our wetlands and other natural resources.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Wetlands are often called the earth\u2019s kidneys because they filter pollutants from the water that flows through them. In addition, they act as giant sponges, capturing large amounts of rainwater and releasing it at a slower rate, thus protecting us from flooding. These delicate environments also are habitats for a diversity of plant and animal species, such as birds.<\/p>\n<p>Dedicated to conserving and restoring natural ecosystems with a focus on birds and their habitats, the Orange Audubon Society is grateful for Orange County\u2019s efforts in hosting these celebration events, educating residents and overseeing important environmental programs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWetlands are an essential ecosystem that must be protected,\u201d said Green. \u201cThanks to the Environmental Protection Division these protections have always been good here, and now they\u2019ve been strengthened even more.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For more, go to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ocfl.net\/Environment\/NaturalLands.aspx#.ZDWQTi-B1eg\">Orange County Green Place Program<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.orangecountyfl.net\/Environment\/Wetlands.aspx\">Orange County Wetlands Ordinance<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ocfl.net\/Portals\/0\/Library\/Culture-Recreation\/ParksModule\/docs\/Johns%20Lake%20Conservation%20Area_2019_Trail-CERT.pdf#search=Johns%20Lake%20Conservation%20Area\">Johns Lake Conservation Area<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/orangeaudubonfl.org\/about\/\">Orange Audubon Society<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.orangecountyfl.net\/Environment.aspx\">Orange County Environmental Division<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While the newest amenity at Johns Lake Conservation Area near Winter Garden might look like a simple wooden box, the 20-foot-long structure is actually the latest effort by Orange County and its Green PLACE program to protect the feathered friends who call the area home.
