{{one source|date=December 2016}}Fort White Wildlife and Environmental Area (WEA) protects 1,610 acres of primarily sandhill habitat four miles west of Fort White in Gilchrist County, Florida.[1]

Fauna

{{Infobox protected area|name=Fort White Wildlife and Environmental Area (WEA)|map=Florida|relief=1|location=Gilchrist County, Florida|nearest_city=Gilchrist County, Florida|coordinates={{coord|29|54|31|N|82|46|54|W|region:US|display=inline, title}}|area=1,610 Acres|governing_body=Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission}}

The imperiled Sherman's fox squirrel, gopher tortoise, Florida mouse, and gopher frog all live in the open sandhills of Fort White WEA.[2] In addition, river otters, beavers, and even manatees may be seen in the adjacent Santa Fe River that flows along the eastern boundary.[3] Birds are represented by numerous migratory and resident species including swallow-tailed kite, barred owl, and Bachman's sparrow.

Recreational activities

Gray squirrel, wild turkey, and white-tailed deer hunting take place here during their respective seasons and bass fishing is popular along the Santa Fe River.[4][5] Loop trails, both along the river and through the sandhills, permit access to much of the area. Paddlers can access the large bald cypress trees and wildlife-viewing opportunities on the Santa Fe River from a boat ramp located near the parking area on NE 2nd Way.[6]
