Property Description: The Scrub contains four ecosystems, pin flatwoods, Florida scrub, mangrove communities, and a cypress swamp... all within a single, sixteen-acre site. One of the few cypress swamps found in northeastern Palm Beach County, with the trees reaching almost 80 feet in height. Jones Creek, a tributary of the Loxahatchee River, lies along the east side of the area. Approximately 5 acres of exotic invasive vegetation have been removed by volunteers, and native upland and wetland vegetation have been planted to restore the habitat.
Partnerships: The Town purchased Delaware Scrub in partnership with Palm Beach County. The Town and the County will share ownership and Palm Beach County will manage the project.
Grants: The Town and County have submitted a grant application to the state's Florida Communities Trust for $2.5 million to be used for the acquisition costs.
