Totaling nearly 945 acres, this large preserve consists of 10 land parcels acquired between 2000 and 2021. The preserve consists of nine native plant communities, including mesic pine flatwoods, freshwater marshes, tidal swamp, hydric hammock and coastal grassland. The most recent acquisition to this preserve is land on the eastern side of the island that extends through a mangrove forest to Matlacha Pass. Known as Pine Island Flatwoods Preserve - Bayside, a Mini Stewardship Plan was written to allow for restoration activities to occur on this land. Prescribed burning is used at this preserve to minimize the risk of wildfire due to heavy fuel loads caused by dense vegetation. This activity also helps to improve habitat critical for the gopher tortoise, a state-listed threatened species. This preserve includes a 1.5-mile marked hiking trail, as well as more than 6 miles of unmarked fire lines that may be hiked. Address: 6351 Stringfellow Road St James City, FL 33956
