The 66.4 acres that is Tall Cypress Natural Area was slated for development when Coral Springs High School environmental group, “Save What’s Left” managed to convince officials to save one small scrap of the natural environment of the region.
Jointly managed since opening in the early 1980s by The City of Coral Springs and The Broward County Parks Department the area features a lengthy board walk from which to observe the habitat. The tree canopy is dense throughout most of the area and large, luscious ferns blanket the ground below the boardwalk. The foliage is exceptionally lush and green in comparison to other natural areas I’ve visited in the area. I suppose that can be attributed to it’s low, swampy elevation.
Tall Cypress Natural Area Park is located at 3700 Turtle Run Blvd., Coral Springs, FL, not too far from Fern Forest Nature Center.
