Timucuan Ecological & Historic Preserve

Sponsored Links:

Intro

The 46,000 acre Timucuan Ecological and Historic Preserve was established to protect one of the last unspoiled coastal wetlands on the Atlantic Coast and to preserve historic and prehistoric sites within the area. The estuarine ecosystem includes salt marsh, coastal dunes, hardwood hammock, as well as salt, fresh, and brackish waters, all rich in native vegetation and animal life.

The Preserve was inhabited by the native Timucuan people over four thousand years before the arrival of the first Europeans. The area has seen more than four centuries of exploration, colonization, agriculture, and commerce under the flags of France, Spain, England, the Confederacy, and the United States.
