This tour is part of the overall citizen
effort by the Florida Scrub-Jay Consortium to
save the federally threatened Florida scrub-jay, Florida's only
endemic bird species, meaning it only lives in Florida. Florida
is home to many scrub-jays.
The Florida Scrub-Jay Trail identifies scrub-jay
habitat across the state of Florida to increase the scrub-jay's
territory. Landowners who have spotted scrub-jays on their properties
are encouraged to contact the Florida Scrub-Jay Consortium to
find out how to become a part of the Florida Scrub-Jay Trail.
For more information about the Florida Scrub-Jay
Trail,

Reservations for the stewardship program are suggested to assure a spot.
