Maybe a prairie is protected. Not sure of definition, maybe some areas have standing water, and some are just vegetation. Driving up to Gainesville there are 3 named prairie’s, one looks dry, one with some water, and the other looks like a lake.  |
The glorified swamp behind our Villages home is referred to as a wildlife preserve. Right now it’s almost dry, after Hurricane Irma it was a lake, typically it’s a swamp. The diverse wildlife living in the swamp is spectacular and the privacy and sunsets it provides us is priceless.
