The Board of County Commissioners recognizes that: 1.…well-managed nature preserves contribute to the community’s quality of life by protecting water resources, protecting and enhancing wildlife habitats, and providing natural areas suitable for resource-based recreation. 2.… grazing appropriate areas of a preserve can be a valuable stewardship tool and directs that cattle grazing on these Alachua County Forever preserves shall be allowed when the following conditions can be met: only on improved or semi-improved (rough) pasture only where grazing has recently occurred only on an interim basis until habitat restoration activities can occur only as a prescribed management tool consistent with the goals of the adopted preserve management plan only where the preserve’s conservation values will not be degraded Policy Directives

The Board of County Commissioners recognizes that: 3.… conversion of natural areas to grazing range is not consistent with Alachua County Forever and Wild Spaces & Public Places referenda. 4.… grazing rights are a commodity, with economic value subject to market forces, and directs that they should be leased at market value. The Board also recognizes that offsetting County property management expenses can be a valuable substitute for cash proceeds. 5.… it is beneficial for the County to re-invest any grazing revenues in the stewardship of the Alachua County Forever portfolio of preserves and directs that these funds supplement existing stewardship funding. Policy Directives
