Here in Suwannee County, we are fortunate to have beautiful shared spaces like our parks and freshwater springs such as Little River Springs to enjoy with friends and family. With such good fortune comes the responsibility to keep these areas pristine and welcoming, not only for locals but also for visitors. Now is the time to take decisive action to safeguard destinations like these, which make Suwannee County a gem in Florida. It’s time to advocate for strong policies that keep deadly tobacco out of places like Royal Springs.
