There are three steephead ravine systems within the project that flow into the Yellow River that ultimately feeds into Blackwater Bay and the Gulf of Mexico. The project will provide important habitat for Florida black bear, red-cockaded woodpeckers and rare species found in the ravines. The project will be managed by DOF as an addition to Blackwater River State Forest and will provide an opportunity for long-term restoration to the original longleaf pine community type, of which only two percent remains in the world.
