“The steep ravines and seepage slopes are about a mile long and average a 30-foot depth, from top of bank to bottom of trough, which is unusual to see in Florida,” said Tyler Mosteller, the District’s North Region land manager.
“While on the property, you’ll see a range of elevations, ecosystems, wildlife and, of course, the creek,” Mosteller said.
The conservation area borders 2.7 miles of riverfront on the south shore of Black Creek, which helps maintain the vital recharge function of the upland sandhill community, an imperiled natural habitat. District lands protect and preserve water resources while also safeguarding plant and wildlife habitat and providing spaces for public recreation and environmental education.
