This unique property, only open to the public during special events and guided tours, is connected to the 2,500 acre Tatum Sawgrass marsh, the largest floodplain marsh along the Myakka River. The property consists of scrub, oak hammock, and flood-plain marsh which support imperiled species such as the gopher tortoise, eastern indigo snake, and wading birds like the American wood stork. Conservation Foundation plans to restore the scrub habitat to attract Florida Scrub Jays.This program is suitable for all ages.
