The Annutteliga Hammock property is located in the Royal Highlands area of northwest Hernando County, just south of Citrus County's Sugarmill Woods development.

Why make a New Year’s resolution to join a gym in 2010, when you can “Get Outside!” on more than 343,000 acres of public recreation lands to hike, bike and camp for little or no cost?

The Citrus/Hernando Waterways Restoration Council will meet at 3 p.m. in Conference Rooms A & B, 1st Floor, at the Southwest Florida Water Management District Headquarters, 2379 Broad St. in Brooksville.
