Wabasso Scrub Conservation Area

A walk through the 111-acre Conservation Area provides visitors with a glimpse of scrub restoration in progress. Timbering, prescribed burning and sand pine thinning are all part of a long term plan to bring the Conservation Area into optimal scrub habitat, specifically for scrub dependent species such as the Florida Scrub Jay, Gopher Tortoise, Eastern Indigo Snake, Gopher Frog, and Scrub Lizard. The Conservation Area also contains some small, isolated freshwater wetlands that contain beautiful wildflowers and freshwater species. Woodstorks, White ibis, Great blue herons, and other wading birds are frequent visitors of the wetlands. Public facilities will be provided at West Wabasso Park which is adjacent to Wabasso Scrub Conservation Area .
