keen observer may see
a soaring red-shouldered
hawk or glimpse a busily
foraging Carolina chickadee.
Go quietly. You could suprise
a deer that will bound away
white tail erect or see a flock
of wild turkeys fly up in alarm.
Water filled caves beneath your
feet provide habitat for cave
crayfish and a rare, tiny insect-
like creature called an amphipod.

Nature trails meander beside a
series of wet and dry sinkholes
south of Tallahassee. This is part of a karst plain
(terrain that rain and groundwater have changed by dissolving through
underlying limestone bedrock) that extends from Tallahassee south to the
Gulf of Mexico.
Red and white oak,
tupelo,
hickory, ash , maple and beech
are among the 20 tree species
that grow in the preserve.
