Buck Creek Preserve

Buck Creek Preserve is an 80+ acre preserve located along the northern section of Buck Creek in Englewood. Buck Creek is dominated by a combination of scrubby and mesic flatwoods, where gopher tortoises are commonly seen and a bald eagle makes its home. Two freshwater marshes occur onsite and are havens for several species of wading birds, along with the mangrove fringe along the creek bed.
