Fact Sheet on Gopher tortoise | North Florida ESO Jacksonville
This is a 20 acre plus area of field just south of the Rio Grande Pool and Mail Center.
I had heard that the Gopher Tortoises that are in that field MAY have had something to do with these various properties not being sold.
They do have large burrows in that field.
I used to take Sport there back around 2007- 2014 once in a while for some variety. There were a lot of regulars there. People who used that field about every day. Some of them are Talk of the Villages members even if I do not remember them posting in quite some time. Sport passed in 2014 and we got Beau who needs a leash or a fenced in field. This field is not fenced in except for a decorative fence on one side.
Unless they have made changes. I have not been in that field since 2014.
