What are the Natural Lands?
The Natural Lands Program was established
in 1990 by a voter-approved
referendum. The Natural Lands
now consist of over 6,600 acres of land stretched
across Seminole County. The largest parcels
are called wilderness
areas. Seven wilderness
areas and one preserve are open to the public
for passive recreation.
