The 774-acre site in the northeastern part of the county contains significant scrub, wetlands and pine flatwoods of relatively good quality. It is also adjacent to the city of Sarasota’s well fields, a portion of which is within the site.

Importance
The site would function as a buffer to the 650-acre city well field area. The site includes scrub and pine flatwoods communities. Adding acreage to that area would help support scrub-dependent species, such as the Florida scrub-jay and gopher tortoise.

Status
No properties have been protected within this site.
