Tree Ordinance Workshop. Walton County Planning and Development Services would like to invite you to a public workshop concentrating on the creation of a Landmark Tree Program that would be adopted by ordinance.

What a joke! Live Oaks have to be 4 feet in diameter at "breast height" to be protected??!! Where would you even see that in SoWal except for Eden Gardens State Park and maybe a few other areas around the bay here and there?

Agree. Seems like clear cutting is the norm. Such a shame for a beautiful area.
