BIG SCRUB
Ocala National Forest's sand pine ecosystem is world's largest
Couple we met and spent yesterday on the trails together in the Big Scrub
President Teddy Roosevelt understood the value of the Ocala National Forest's "Big Scrub." A hundred years ago, on Nov. 24, 1908, he signed a bill formally establishing the Forest. Nearly all of the original 165,000 acres was sand pine scrub. Land purchases have enlarged the Forest to 382,318 acres.
