Ecological Greenways and Trail Networks
As part of Florida’s statewide system of greenways and trails, a
series of maps were completed to define opportunities for
establishing the Trails and Ecological Greenways Networks. These
maps assist in guiding planning and determining appropriate lands
for acquisition. They were originally completed during creation of
the 1998 Implementation Plan for the Florida Greenways and Trails
System (view the Implementation Plan Executive Summary), and have
gone through an update since that time.

Report:
2004 Update of the Florida Ecological Greenways
Network (PDF 9mb)
This report provides an overview of the process for updating the
Ecological Greenways Network from the 1998 Implementation Plan. New
data was utilized and lands that were developed since the original
network was delineated were removed.
The technical work underlying the Trails and Ecological Greenways
Networks is funded by the Florida Department of Environmental
Protection, Office of Greenways and Trails (OGT). The work is
conducted by OGT in coordination with the University of Florida
GeoPlan Center. The Florida Greenways and Trails Council provides
review and oversight.
