This land sits on whats left of an ancient beach and sand dune system in central Florida that used to
extend approximately 100 miles long that stretched from Orange County to southern Highlands County.
The ridge, ranged in width of 4 - 10 miles, was once a peninsula that existed when much of Florida was
under the sea millions of years ago. The ridges scrub vegetation and wildlife is the remnant of this ancient
ecosystem, and is found nowhere else in the world. Plants atop these ancient islands evolved uniquely with
their isolated habitat.
