40th Environmental Permitting Summer School

I oversee FWC's Land Use Planning (LUP) Program. LUP coordinates the review of regulated land use changes statewide and provides technical assistance on projects with the potential to affect fish and wildlife species. We coordinate with public planners, agency staff, private landowners, developers, and environmental consultants to promote fish and wildlife conservation on primarily private lands. We also now issue all gopher tortoise recipient site permits and large, programmatic species take permits.
