518 Acres in Ocala to Osceola Corridor Secured for Conservation
A significant conservation effort has been made to protect 518 acres of land within the Ocala to Osceola Wildlife Corridor in Putnam County, Florida. The North Florida Land Trust, in collaboration with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, has secured a conservation easement for this land, which is home to diverse ecosystems including oak hammocks, scrub habitat, and wetlands. The area supports a working cattle ranch and is inhabited by various wildlife species such as deer, turkey, gopher tortoises, and bald eagles. This initiative is part of a broader effort to preserve natural habitats and maintain biodiversity in the region.
