Did you happen to do the math on the cabbage palms?  $305,000.00 for nearly 20,000 cabbage palms.  That's approximately $15.00 per tree and they are selling them to landscapers.  Each tree is probably going for something in the neighborhood of $200-300.  That's a huge profit yet the author of the article is giving them accolades for 'donating' $50,000.00 to the school board.  What kind of twisted crap is this?  When it's all done and over with, I wouldn't be surprised if the Picayune will be declared a mis-managed project, doomed from the beginning and houses will end up on there anyway; too far gone to restore.  Sick.

What a shame!  That land was once a nice riding place and now they call tearing down tree's restoring the land!  We are never going to have a legal riding place in collier county now from what i hear!
