The 420-acre site is adjacent to
the western boundary of Myakka State Forest. The site contains
riverine wetlands, hammock and pine flatwoods and supports a
variety of wading birds.
Importance
Protection of this site would help buffer Myakka State Forest and
Charlotte Harbor State Buffer Preserve and protect the water
quality of Lemon Bay.
Status
Sarasota County has
acquired a 61-acre tract adjacent to the state forest. The
Florida Division of Forestry (DOF) purchased an adjacent 61-acre
tract at no cost to the county. An 80-acre parcel acquired
in 2006 that protects quality habitat directly along the creek.
