Florida Real Estate Developer Receives Commendation For Work To Save Species Threatened With Extinction

Cranewoods Development President Andrew Howe was honored by the Humane Society as the first Florida real estate developer to forgo destruction of gopher tortoises in favor of a new community relocation policy to protect the threatened species on it’s oceanfront home project site in Ponce Inlet, Florida.

Ponce Inlet, FL (PRWEB) December 1, 2007 — Prospects are better for future generations of the Florida gopher tortoise, a threatened species facing the risk of extinction, thanks to the actions of Cranewoods Development, the first Florida real estate developer to abandon the State required “pay-and-bury” permit, and instead opt to use the new community relocation policy.

Florida state regulations in force at the time Cranewoods’ Florida luxury oceanfront home project, The Cottages at Ponce Inlet, began construction, required developers to obtain “pay-and-bury” permits that allowed gopher tortoises to be crushed and buried alive. Cranewoods chose to make an additional investment in saving the threatened species.

Using the new relocation program, project builder HCM Construction worked with community volunteers and the Humane Society Of The United States to relocate the tortoises to Nokuse Plantation, a 50,000-acre conservation wilderness. The tortoises saved at The Cottages of Ponce Inlet site, validated the feasibility of the new program by not only acclimating, but in the surest sign of success by reproducing a new generation of gopher tortoises.
