Save Uplands NCF

Plans by @GovRonDeSantis and his crony NCF President @RichardCorcoran to destroy @NewCollegeofFL are reaching a new low as the state starts bulldozing a protected coastal preserve on campus. But we can stop them. TAKE ACTION ➡ tinyurl.com/SaveUplands #SaveNewCollege #Florida

In response to calls for an investigation by the State University System's Office of Inspector General, Alexander Tzoumas of New College has doubled down on the admin position that clearing the Uplands Preserve for sports fields preserves its natural beauty and flood control.

On August 28th, New College Of Florida’s president Richard Corcoran held a "Town Hall" with alumni. It was a flop. Unsurprisingly, he didn't address his administration's violations in the Uplands. Read more about the event. ⤵️ novocollegian.org/blog/corcorans…

@HeraldTribune If NCF wants to be "thriving, vibrant and alive again," start by replanting the trees and mangroves illegally cleared in the Uplands Bayfront Preserve this summer. 🌳🐦🦉🦅🌲🌳🐿🌳🌳

"The image of hundreds of repudiated books in a dumpster seemed to blend the fascist horror of a 1933 book burning with a 21st century dumpster fire meme." Op-ed from Jono Miller, a former director of NCF environmental studies program ⬇ heraldtribune.com/story/opinion/…

@chrislancette @efjournal Hmm, we're not seeing emails from you. Where'd you send em? In any case, try hitting us up at SaveUplands [at] gmail.com

@efjournal I’ve sent you a couple of emails attempting to get more involved with the movement. Would love a response. Or follow me back here so I can send a DM.

#Florida is a hot f**kin' mess. And the people fighting back deserve all the support they can get.

Voices of the Uplands # 5: This episode features NCF faculty and alums Sarah Hernandez, Julie Morris, and David Anderson. In July, WSLR covered a Celebration of Life for the trees of the Uplands Preserve on NCF's campus. We compiled a series of short videos from it.

Opinion: New College of Florida's leaders want to tick off our community. They're doing a good job. heraldtribune.com/story/opinion/…

Column: #Florida's Duffer-in-Chief @GovRonDeSantis wants to build golf courses, hotels & pickleball courts in state parks, missing the point of parks. My latest for @FLPhoenixNews features shout-outs to Steely Dan, "The Wizard of Oz" and Lord Voldemort. floridaphoenix.com/2024/08/22/des…

Calling it anything less than fascism is a disservice to future generations. Join us in fighting back. For trees, for books, for diversity, for freedom, for each other, for the earth. Get involved ➡ tinyurl.com/SaveUplands

There is no confusion. People just hate the idea of building golf courses, 350-room motels & pickleball courts in #Florida's state parks. Those don't belong there.
