Gopher Tortoises are State Threatened and declining in number in Florida due to development. Healthy and sustainable gopher tortoise populations need fairly large roadless areas (so they don't get smashed) and good groundcover, preferrably with lots of flowers and small fruits like Touch-Me-Not, Pawpaws and Gopher Apple. They also strongly prefer deep sandy soil to make their burrows in, like those soils that support sandhill, scrub, scrubby flatwoods, and mesic flatwoods. | Florida Native Plant

Protect our gopher tortoises! They live on land, not in water, and unfortunately many people don’t understand this and throw the tortoise in the water to their death. Gopher tortoises are also keystone species and incredibly important in the environment by digging 50ft borrows that over 300 other species utilize! They’re a protected species in Florida and should always be respected, and watch for them crossing roads! @vegancobra recently made a post about gopher tortoises being thrown in the wat
