There is now a small trail through the pepper tree There is now a small trail through the pepper trees mainly to show the impact that the pepper trees have. Underneath the pepper trees there are mostly dead sticks and nothing growing, with hardly any biodiversity. This is why it is important to remove invasive plants and plant natives instead!!

Happy Gopher Tortoise Day!!🐢 Here at Hundred Ac Happy Gopher Tortoise Day!!🐢 Here at Hundred Acre Hollows we have 467 active gopher tortoise burrows an increase since our 2020 survey where we measured 407 active gopher tortoise burrows. Gopher tortoises usually use multiple burrows throughout their lives, and the ones they abandon are then used by other animals. Because of this gopher tortoises are a keystone species. Their burrows provide shelter for over 360 other species such as the Florida mouse, snakes, and even owls. Without the gopher tortoise, many species would not exist. For more information check out the gopher tortoise link in the bio!
