Jim Bryan, Forestry Manager for Lykes Brothers, Inc. states, “Mr.
Lykes Senior, Charlie Lykes, made a conscious effort in the 60s and 70s
that this old long-leaf habitat would be left as is. He just knew that it was
ground that was fast disappearing in Florida and he wanted it left on
the family’s property ... we left it as is and that’s why this Red
Cockaded Woodpecker is on this land right now.”

The Seminole Tribe of Florida, Inc., under the leadership of
President Moses Osceola, has just signed a first-ever EQIP group
contract under Tribe, Inc. that will encompass/assist 9 operators in the
B-group of the Brighton Indian Reservation. The Tribe's EQIP contract
will primarily address water quality/quantity issues at their
reservation. While everyone around Lake Okeechobee is tackling the issue
of Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) of phosphorous going into the lake,
Seminole Tribe is cognizant of their own situation.

local, state and federal tax dollars, through recreational activities
such as hunting, fishing and wildlife viewing.
