 Have you been exploring in the Charlotte Flatwoods Environmental Park yet? The Park has over 7 miles of trails accessible from the Zemel Road park entrance, just north of the Village.
The Park has 487 acres of pine Flatwoods; marsh wet lands, dry prairie and freshwater ponds. These preserved lands are an important wildlife corridor you can view right in your own backyard! The wetland areas provide habitat for reptiles, amphibians and wading birds, as well as beautiful scenery and walking trails for human visitors.
The dry prairie is home to bobcats, deer, otter and wild turkey. Looking upward you can catch a glimpse of great horned owls, bald eagles, American kestrel and yellow-bellied sapsuckers, just to name a few. Watch where you step though, as pygmy and eastern diamondback rattlesnakes also call the park home. Wear your hiking boots and don’t forget your camera.

 From the deserts of southern Arizona to a garden in Burnt Store Village, we bring you the Queen of the Night.
Habitat: Sonoran and Chihuahua desert flats and washes between 3,000 and 5,000 feet.
On a midsummer’s night a fragrant trumpet-shaped flower opens as night falls, then closes forever with the first rays of the morning sun. The flower is 4” wide and 8” long and comes from a 8’ tall Cactus with small spines and can produce up 15 flowers in June or July.
The mother plant was destroyed in hurricane Charley, but cuttings were saved and planted in Burnt Store
Village.
It is believed that Native Americans used the turnip-like root as a food source. |
