STATE FOREST’S IN THE PANHANDLE

Explore the expansive Panhandle State Forests in West Florida, totaling over 194,668 acres in Blackwater and 15,247 acres in Point Washington. These forests are vital for multiple uses, including timber, recreation (camping, hiking, bird watching, and canoeing), and wildlife conservation, particularly longleaf pine and wiregrass ecosystems. Ongoing management challenges include urban encroachment, invasive species, and road maintenance, while new acquisitions are in negotiation to further enhance these critical habitats. Join us in appreciating and preserving these unique natural resources!
