Description
Near the Withlacoochee these Bald Cypress trees are normally underwater most for the year, inundated by the overflow from the Withlacoochee River. Withlacoochee State Forest is currently the third largest state forest in Florida and is divided into several distinct tracts of land. Using sound ecosystem management, the Florida Forest Service provides for multiple use of the forest resources. The forest is managed for timber, wildlife, ecological restoration and outdoor recreation.Withlacoochee State Forest was acquired by the federal government from private landowners between 1936 and 1939 under the provisions of the U.S. Land Resettlement Administration. The U.S. Forest Service managed the property until a lease-purchase agreement transferred the property to the Florida Board of Forestry in 1958.
