Added 2025-10-18 13:32:33 +0000 UTCSplit Oak Forest near Orlando is on the chopping block to have a toll road built through the middle of it due to some sleaze bag developers that need a way to shuttle human cattle between the depressing cul-de-sac community they built and the airport. As a result, the entirety of this remaining crumb of habitat could one day be partially demolished despite being in a conservation easement.
in this habitat we explore some of the sand scrub communities and talk about the fire dependency (and fire-adapted nature) of many of these plants, including Gordonia lasianthus (Green Tra Family, Theaceae), Lyonia lucida (Blueberry Family - Ericaceae), Gaylussacia nana, Quercus geminata, Serenoa repens, Carphephorus odoratissimus (aka Vanilla Leaf), and more.
