Jupiter Real Estate to include 19-acre Nature Trail Next Year

Officials in Jupiter are planning to develop a nature trail next year in the heart of the town.

The land will stretch 19 acres and feature a meandering boardwalk for visitors that will lead them through an area filled with cypress trees, pine flatwoods, palmettos, an oak in a hammock and a slough of freshwater that flows into Jones Creek. Developers have already removed many exotic plants from the site.

But this preservation won’t just be for visitors looking for a nice hike through a nature path. The town also hopes to attract students at the Environmental Academy for educational tours. The Jupiter school is located within walking distance from the preservation.

The town is spending $400,000 for the development of the nature trail. After its completion, the real estate in Jupiter will be managed by the Park and Recreation Department.
