Unlike some sprawling preserves, Frannie's Preserve is a cozy 27-acre haven. This makes it perfect for a quick and refreshing nature fix or a relaxing afternoon stroll. Originally dominated by invasive Australian pine trees, the preserve has undergone a remarkable transformation. Restoration efforts have led to the planting of over 5,000 native trees and shrubs, creating a flourishing tropical hardwood hammock.
