St. Johns County is taking a meaningful step toward protecting its natural landscapes and sensitive environmental areas. At a recent Board of County Commissioners meeting, commissioners prepared to consider bolstering support for the Land Acquisition and Management Program (LAMP) — a cornerstone of the county’s long-term conservation strategy.
Why This Matters
First established by ordinance in 2021, LAMP is designed to help St. Johns County strategically acquire and preserve land with significant environmental, historical, archaeological, or recreational value. The program focuses on protecting key areas such as wildlife habitat, aquifer recharge zones, green corridors, and spaces for passive recreation — all priorities that align with the county’s broader strategic goals around conservation and community well-being.
Expanding the Funding Strategy
At the January 20, 2026 meeting, county staff presented options to restore LAMP’s annual funding to its former level of $2 million — an increase of $1.5 million above the current base of $500,000. One of the pivotal strategies under consideration involves tapping into the Tree Bank Fund to support these acquisitions.
The Tree Bank Fund was created to support environmental preservation activities, including conservation land purchases, environmental mitigation, wildlife habitat protection, and beautification projects. Because it is a dedicated fund with a solid reserve — about $2.3 million at the start of fiscal year 2026 — county leaders found it well suited for supporting enhanced land conservation without raising property taxes.
In fact, the Board of County Commissioners approved a one-time transfer of $1.5 million from the Tree Bank Fund into LAMP to support future land acquisitions — a move that underscores the county’s commitment to environmental stewardship and careful fiscal planning.
What This Means for Our Community
Reinvigorating LAMP funding strengthens St. Johns County’s ability to preserve the natural beauty and ecological health of our region. As growth continues across Northeast Florida, this effort helps ensure that important landscapes — from wetlands and forests to wildlife corridors — remain protected for future generations.

What my clients are saying  

Astrid went above and beyond for the sale of our home in Hastings FL! She had wonderful ideas about how to spruce up the outside and organize the inside to make the home more appealing. She was very hands on and handled many things for us as we live in another state. She is kind, trustworthy and extremely professional. We were so fortunate to have her!

Astrid is extremely knowledgeable about the areas she serves, knows practical information that other realtors do not possess, and makes every effort to keep in communication along the buying process. I've worked with several realtors in purchasing properties, and none come close to Astrid's expertise. I've worked with her on several transactions, and would not hesitate to consult her again.

I was in need of a realtor in Hastings, Florida. Not living in Florida, I was concerned that selling my property would be a difficult task. I needed someone that I could trust and knew what they were doing. Astrid was recommended to me by an acquaintance based on her experience as a Accredited Land Consultant. Upon my first contact with her I knew she was the right person for the task. She was friendly, professional, and very responsive to all my needs. She took me through the process step by step making it a very easy and pleasant experience. I would recommend Astrid to anyone in need of a highly skilled and professional relator.

Astrid is very professional, has great communication skills and will always keep you updated with the status of the transaction. Because of her expertise in the area she serves, she is extremely helpful with navigating through the entire process. She will be straight with you about the best approach, not just tell you what you want to hear, and I really appreciated that because I think it shows she has your best interest at heart. I am happy to say I highly recommend her.

~ Stan Levy

In an effort to sell our family farm, we interviewed three different realtors specializing in ranches. Astrid was our unanimous choice. Her marketing plan proved to be a real winner. Very soon the calls, emails and showings began. Within three weeks of listing the Ranch we received an asking price offer. While in escrow Astrid worked very hard and was available for questions on a daily basis. Thanks to Astrid, the Ranch closed two weeks early. Great job, Astrid. Thank You!!!

 

~ Eric Anderson

Astrid is the best broker/agent I have ever worked with. She is very professional and personal. She was always in contact with us letting us know the status of the sale of our house. During the whole process we were updated continually during the sale. At times when we didn't understand some of the paper work, she would take the time and explain step by step. If you are looking for a great agent, she's the BEST to have working for you. I highly recommend Astrid for your agent!

 

~ Pam B

As German citizens living in Munich, we purchased a condo in St Augustine, FL as a rental investment and were thrilled to have Astrid Armani as our Realtor®. She guided us through the entire process with expert advice, German-language support, and video tours. From translating documents to connecting us with a German-speaking notary and property manager, Astrid made everything seamless. We highly recommend her to anyone—especially fellow Germans—looking to buy or sell real estate!

 

~ A Stengel

Astrid did an excellent job assisting me with my property purchase in rural Putnam County. Sent me relevant listings, answered all my questions quickly. Very fast to answer phone and texts. Especially helpful with closing ,helping with every step. Astrid caught an overcharge from title company and saved me money, calling them and having it fixed promptly. Thank you so much for all of your hard work

 

~ Goldensaasafras

Astrids knowledge or rural properties was invaluable in the sale of out homestead. She was great at communicating and keeping us informed on the status of the transaction. I would highly recommend this agent to sell or buy homes and ranches.

 

~ Tim Storey

As a real estate lawyer I deal with a lot of brokers. Astrid was one of the best I have ever encountered. She was extremely professional and her knowledge of the area market was invaluable. She was proactive in dealing with our home and responsive to all inquires, not an easy task when the property was owned by 4 sellers who had their own sets of questions. We would not hesitate to use Astrid again and would recommend her without reservation.
