| Land Clearing Underway The Lake Douglas Ranch is working on a large scale land clearing and clean up project to prepare the area for the 2007 hurricane season. Several large trees were damaged during the 2004 hurricanes and now represent a danger for visitors and livestock. In additional to the removal of trees and stumps, private contractors are also working to improve the Ranch's storm water drainage system and create areas of higher ground by adding dirt to known low lying sections of pasture. During all of this work, Ranch managers are paying particular attention to protect wildlife habitats, including several gopher tortoise nests and a fox den. Phase 2 of this project will involve replacement siding of the Ranch House which will harden the facility to better resist hurricane force winds and other severe weather. The Ranch is also concurrently working on an automation upgrade which will involve the installation of new 802.11 Wireless G format routers and repeaters to link all buildings, barns and holding areas. |
