Dear Conservancy supporters,
We are pleased to reach out to you today with historic news. The Bonita Springs City Council unanimously (6–0) passed an ordinance prohibiting the use of fracking and fracking-like oil well stimulation treatments in city limits. The Conservancy supports Bonita’s efforts to provide necessary oversight to protect its drinking water — particularly in the absence of state regulations related to inappropriate oil drilling. Thank you for showing your support for our work.
We sincerely appreciate each phone call, email, donation, public comment and/or volunteer efforts each of you dedicates to our mission. Today is a tremendous example of what we and our partners can accomplish together.
An excerpt from the Naples Daily News quotes, Jennifer Hecker, director of natural resource policy at the Conservancy, “I think that what Bonita has done today will pave the way for other communities to exercise their home rule authority to restrict inappropriate oil drilling activities and technologies within their communities.”
