Throughout the year, Conner’s A-Maize-ing Acres, located in Hilliard, provides family-friendly and agritourism opportunities to the community by allowing the public to visit the farm for photo ops and good, wholesome fun. They host field trips and parties and provide the annual sunflower patch and the pumpkin patch and corn maze. Each year, Conner’s A-Maize-ing Acres creates a new design of the corn maze which is unveiled before opening day. We are excited to announce that as part of our year-long Bicentennial, Nassau County has partnered with Conners A-Maize-ing Acres for a special Bicentennial-themed corn maze design. Stay tuned in the coming weeks as we highlight this tedious process and provide sneak peaks of the mystery design. An announcement will be made this summer about a joint unveiling event between Conner’s A-Maize-Ing Acres and the Board of County Commissioners. You won’t want to miss this once-in-a-lifetime (more like 200 years!) design unveiling or the loads of fun waiting for you at Conner’s A-Maize-Ing Acres. -Sabrina Robertson Public Information Officer  5/31/24 @ 10:30 a.m.

From May 1st - October 31st each year, sea turtles visit Amelia Island beaches to nest, and it's up to all of us to make their visit as safe as possible! During this turtle nesting season, we are introducing "Turtle Talk Tuesday". Every Tuesday, we will provide you with facts about our local turtle population and what is being done to protect them. This week on Turtle Talk Tuesday, we would like to remind everyone to Keep It Flat! We all love to dig holes at the beach, however did you know that holes can be a danger to both people and sea turtles? People who are walking or running on the beach may not notice the hole and could be injured from falling in. Large holes also create dangerous obstacles that beach rovers and lifeguards must navigate around. Not only does it slow response time, it creates a hazard for their vehicles as well. For sea turtles, these large holes can cause death as nesting sea turtles and their hatchlings can get stuck with no way out. Turtles stuck after sunrise are very likely to die. Below are a few photos provided to us from the Amelia Island Sea Turtle Watch showing a few of the very large holes they have encountered on our beaches. Enjoy your time at the beach but when you're done, please be sure to fill in your holes before you go. -Sabrina Robertson Public Information Officer 5/24/24 @ 4:00 p.m. - Below are pictures from the week of May 17 - May 24, 2024. -Sabrina Robertson Public Information Officer  5/24/24 @ 3:45 p.m. - County Offices will be closed on Monday, May 27, 2024 in observance of Memorial Day. We wish everyone a safe and happy weekend.

The County launched Nassau Florida Vision 2050, a collaborative 18-month process involving local leaders, residents, businesses, and stakeholders to shape the future of our community. The project kicked off with extensive community engagement and a review of the County’s plans, studies, and existing conditions. Based on this input, draft “Community Building Blocks” have been developed, outlining core values that will guide recommendations and strategies for the Vision plan. Residents, business owners, and other community members are encouraged to share their thoughts on the Building Blocks through a new survey. The survey asks respondents to: ● Identify which values resonate with them. ● Describe their ideas for what these values could look like in practice. Once participants take the quick 5-question survey, they will be entered in a raffle to win a local prize or experience in the County. Survey Link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/nassaubuildingblocks. To learn more about the project, Nassau County Bicentennial events, and ways to get involved, please visit www.nassaufl2050.com. -Sabrina Robertson Public Information Officer |
