Pine flatwoods by far is the biggest single habitat in Kristin Jacobs Natural Area at Hillsboro Pineland. Historically much of the land in the area would have been pine flatwoods.

This photo, taken in 2014, shows a fairly clear understory. The same spot photographed in March 2022 is similarly clear. Back to the Beginning.
