As wraps up, here's our friendly reminder that protecting land means protecting Florida's valuable water resources.

𝗟𝗔𝗡𝗗 𝗣𝗥𝗢𝗧𝗘𝗖𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 = 𝗪𝗔𝗧𝗘𝗥 𝗣𝗥𝗢𝗧𝗘𝗖𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡

Conservation lands are often home to spring vents, rivers, estuaries, and wetlands — all of which help to protect our water.

These lands do so much:
𝗔𝗰𝘁 𝗮𝘀 𝗻𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗯𝘂𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗮𝗴𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘀𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗼𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴.
𝗙𝗶𝗹𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿.
𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗲 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗮𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗳𝗲𝗿𝘀, 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗻 𝗱𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿.
𝗔𝗶𝗱 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗯𝗼𝗻 𝘀𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻.
𝗖𝗮𝗽𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗻𝘂𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀.

Every acre saved helps safeguard Florida's waters.💧🌿

Traditionally, long hair was always a symbol of masculinity. All of history's great warriors had long hair, from the Greeks (who wrote odes to their heroes' hair) to the Nordic, from the American Indians (famous for their long shiny hair) to the Japanese. And the longer and beautiful the hair was, the more manly the warrior was considered. Vikings flaunted their braids and samurai wore their long hair as a symbol of their honor (they cut their braid when they lose honor).
When a warrior was captured, his mane was cut to humiliate him, to take away his beauty. That custom resumed in what is today military service. There when new soldiers begin their training the first thing they do is cut their hair to undermine their self-esteem, make them submissive and make them see who's boss.
The Romans were the ones who "invented" short hair so to speak, between the 1st and 5th centuries AD.. In battles they believed this gave them defensive advantages, since their opponents couldn't grab them by the hair. This also helped them to recognize each other in the battlefield.
Short hair on men is a relatively new "invention" that has nothing to do with aesthetics.
But today we often see men being humiliated, sometimes called "gay" for wearing long hair, not knowing that short hair is actually the "anti-masculine" and is a repressive social imposition, while long hair symbolizes freedom.
