🌿💧 September’s Property of the Month: Blue Cypress Conservation Area 💧🌿

This incredible property is a mosaic of wetland communities – from open water systems to floodplain marshes – dominated by maidencane, sawgrass, willows, and buttonbush, dotted with tree islands and cypress domes. 🌳✨

It’s one of the most undisturbed areas in the headwaters of the St. Johns River and home to the largest remnant marsh of its type in the region. A true gem for nature lovers and explorers!

This 1976 illustration highlights one of our most iconic species, the American alligator, alongside purple gallinules and lily pads.

Once listed as a federally endangered species, the story of the American alligator is one of conservation success! They now thrive in all 67 counties across the state at an estimated 1.3 million of every size. To manage our healthy alligator population, we use an approach that incorporates alligator research, law enforcement, sustainable harvest programs, and our proactive Statewide Nuisance Alligator Program (SNAP). American alligators are Florida’s state reptile because they are a symbol of the resilience of our wild lands and the importance of thoughtful wildlife management.

There’s no shortage of heat in Florida, and this alligator knows it. As others face the chilly north, this gator is enjoying the endless sunshine with a drink in hand. This is Florida at its finest – hot, sunny, and living the good life. 🐊🍹
