Gopher tortoises, longleaf pine habitat, and pitcher plant associated bogs thrive on this 3,610-acre property within the Wolfe Creek Forest Florida Forever project area. The property, which was approved for acquisition at the March 29, 2022 meeting of the Governor and Cabinet, is a part of the Florida Wildlife Corridor and adjacent to Blackwater River State Forest. It also provides an east-west corridor connection from the state forest to Whiting Field Naval Air Station.
Thank you to the leadership of the Trust for Public Land, the landowner, and the Florida Department of Environmental Protection who came together to make this opportunity possible. This acquisition received additional funding from the US Forest Service Forest Legacy Program and the Knobloch Family Foundation.
