🌿💧 September’s Property of the Month: Blue Cypress Conservation Area 💧🌿
This incredible property is a mosaic of wetland communities – from open water systems to floodplain marshes – dominated by maidencane, sawgrass, willows, and buttonbush, dotted with tree islands and cypress domes. 🌳✨
It’s one of the most undisturbed areas in the headwaters of the St. Johns River and home to the largest remnant marsh of its type in the region. A true gem for nature lovers and explorers!

🦋🌼 Spotted: A Gulf fritillary butterfly enjoying a snack on Bidens alba!
These vibrant orange pollinators love Florida’s native wildflowers — and Bidens alba is one of their favorites. This hardy plant isn’t just beautiful; it’s a pollinator powerhouse that supports butterflies, bees, and other beneficial insects.
At the St. Johns River Water Management District, we manage natural lands to protect vital habitats like this — where native wildflowers thrive and butterflies can flourish. Every bloom plays a role in a healthy ecosystem! 🌿💧
📸 Next time you’re out on District lands, keep an eye out for these fluttering beauties! Learn more about where you can explore

🌲🦉 Did you know the Barred Owl (Strix varia) can rotate its head nearly 270°? Or that it hunts mostly at night using silent flight to catch prey like mice, frogs, and insects?
Healthy wetlands = happy owls! At SJRWMD, we protect Florida’s waterways and wetlands so wildlife like the Barred Owl can thrive. 💧🌿
