The Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners voted to take an important step closer to passing a one-year moratorium on new rock mining.

Audubon supported the ban and thanks all advocates who helped call on the County to freeze new mining permits.  The third and final vote needed to make this decision final will be at the end of August and as that time nears, Audubon will provide more details and information on how to help.
