Cranewoods Development Honored By Humane Society
Ponce Inlet, FL (PRWEB) December 1, 2007 — Prospects are better for future generations of the Florida gopher tortoise, a threatened species facing the risk of extinction, thanks to the actions of Cranewoods Development, the first Florida real estate developer to abandon the State required “pay-and-bury” permit, and instead opt to use the new community relocation policy.
Florida state regulations in force at the time Cranewoods’ Florida luxury oceanfront home project, The Cottages at Ponce Inlet, began construction, required developers to obtain “pay-and-bury” permits that allowed gopher tortoises to be crushed and buried alive. Cranewoods chose to make an additional investment in saving the threatened species.
For its compassionate choice to save the gopher tortoises, the Florida real estate developer and builder has been honored with a commendation from the Humane Society of the United States. Awards of appreciation were presented November 14, 2007, at the Town of Ponce Inlet Town Council meeting to Cranewoods Development manager Andrew Howe, volunteer Carissa Kent, the Town of Ponce Inlet and Nokuse Plantation.

A commitment to the environment along with the development of beautiful properties allows Cranewoods Development to design oceanfront homes for residents who want to be able to enjoy their natural surroundings.
What makes Ponce Inlet and other communities so attractive is their natural beauty, ocean views and wildlife: why choose a home that doesn’t treasure those things as much as you do? When you begin looking for a home in Ponce Inlet or a surrounding community, don’t forget about the things that are important to you.
