This is awesome guys and going to open up many possibilities. I normally have to drive more than an hour to get to a park not controlled by the state but now I have access to the state park that is right near my house. But, lets see if I understand this correctly. Florida is instituting a test program for hammocks in which the park managers choose trees to be designated as "hammock friendly" so to speak and we are to use only those designated trees so that the park service can study any use and abuse in the area. So my question is, are we supposed to contact the state parks before we go to inform them of our use or to ask which trees have been designated?
I've put a link to a PDF of the statement on my blog.

Don't forget that the word has been sent out to the Park Managers. If they haven't filtered it down to the rangers AND started getting ready to select trees then nobody else down there will know anything. I think that as more calls from hammock folk come in (it's probably best to call the gentleman in the quoted letter) they will get the word down to the bottom faster. I'll probably call my local park manager and offer my help in getting the pilot program implemented locally.

I realize that. Just wanted to get him digging around. ;-)
