By Bobeth Yates, CBS Miami April 20, 2021 Miami (CBSMiami) — The situation over what happens next at Matheson Hammock Park West gate got heated this week. Miami-Dade County commissioners discussed plans that could change how people access the nature preserve and if and how their dogs would be allowed. "We have to do whatever it takes to preserve and restore those properties and this is the first step to that," said Miami-Dade Commissioner Raquel Regalado. She is referring to her resolution that unanimously passed committee, which allows the Department of Environmental Resource Management to have a say in what happens on environmentally protected land, that includes the Matheson Hammock Park, a popular location for pet owners.
