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.

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

Gopher Tortoises spend roughly 80% of their time living below ground in their burrows, which provides protection from extreme weather and predators. The burrows also provide shelter and refuge for over 350 species, including snakes, mice, rabbits, and frogs. Their time above ground is spent feeding on low-growing plants that they can find around their burrow entrance. They are opportunistic grazers, foraging the vegetation near their burrows, only traveling further if necessary. Video by Anna Ma
