Currently the Brevard County Endangered Lands Program (EELs) is looking to "restore" Malabar Scrub Sanctuary. If the current plan continues, tens of thousands of trees (an EELs estimate of 10,000-20,000 trees) will be removed from the Sanctuary - leaving only a max of 1-2 tree(s) over 15ft tall per acre. By definition, this will be an absolute decimation of the property from a tree perspective. This project is large scale and spans multiple Sanctuaries in South Brevard. For the Malabar and Palm Bay Trail System, after phase 1 (in future) EELs plans to return to "restore" any remaining portion of Malabar Scrub Sanctuary and will attempt to "restore" portions of Turkey Creek Sanctuary as well. It will change the landscape of South Brevard, irreversibly, for forever. Their work will also destroy the trails on the property where any "restoration" is taking place (leaving them open to the elements as deep sand).
