Gopher tortoises do so much for our ecosystems, which is why we’re starting our biggest gopher tortoise habitat enhancement project yet! 🐢 💪 Gopher tortoises need open-canopy, sandy habitats with low grasses and vegetation. In Florida, these habitats are in decline, so we’re making a few of our own! Join us as we clear overgrown vegetation, plant native species, and restore habitat for gopher tortoises on our preserve lands this fall and winter by signing up to volunteer with us: https://sccf.

Spring is in the air and we've got the perfect yard care solution for you: a hungry gopher tortoise. Just kidding — you're unlikely to even find one as these animals spend around 80% of their lives underground. As this species' name suggests, the gopher tortoise is an expert at living underground — just like a gopher. Gopher tortoises have shovel-like front legs and strong, thick back legs to help them dig intricate burrows. Yet despite their subterranean nature, gopher tortoises are in a fight

Take a look inside a gopher tortoise burrow! Biologists discovered a tortoise deep inside this burrow at Branan Field WEA in northeast Florida during a survey in December. Gopher tortoise burrows average 15 feet in length and 6.5 feet deep. The standard methodology we use is Line Transect Distance Sampling (LTDS) with burrow scoping that allows biologists to count actual tortoises and not just the burrows. Historically, the FWC counted burrows and estimated two burrows per tortoise. The LTDS met
