About this Event
This park is a great representation of the pine flatwoods that used to cover much more of Florida. Home to iconic species such as the stae-threatened Gopher Tortoise and a colony of the federally-threatened Red-cockaded Woodpecker. Along with that, the botanical diversityy is great, so we should see plenty of blooms such as the pictured Bearded Grasspink orchid.
