Forests and Wildlife Refuges

Natural North Florida’s three National Wildlife Refuges conserve native Florida habitat in order to provide wintering habitat for migratory birds and to protect the water quality of the historic Suwannee River. Its two national forests provide for a variety of uses and contain sections of the Florida National Scenic Trail.
