Panther Island is an active habitat restoration project located along the northern and western boundaries of Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary.
Florida currently has at least 142 recognized native reptiles and amphibians, some of them can be found at Corkscrew!
With more than 1.5 million species of insects named worldwide, what is found at Corkscrew?
Corkscrew is home to a beautiful and important array of plants and trees. Currently a complete inventory is underway to identify exactly what is found within the sanctuary.
Five principle components: fire, invasive species, hydrology, wildlife & plants, and human access.
Prescribed burns are an extremely useful land management tool that helps control exotics, perpetuate fire-dependent species, improve aesthetics, and enhance wildlife habitat.
