Any fan of mother nature will love the Allen Broussard Conservancy.
Forever Florida, Ziplines, and Horseback Adventures in the Wild is an eco-tourism attraction in St. Cloud, Florida. Located one hour outside of Orlando this 4,700-acre Wildlife Conservation Area is only part of the Allen Broussard Conservancy (ABC). The organization seeks to preserve and protect the fragile ecosystems of Florida’s native wilderness. This particular attraction is instrumental in carrying out two parts of ABC’s three-fold mission to preserve Florida’s natural environment and educating the public about the importance of conservation.
The location encompasses 9 distinct ecosystems and is preserved as nature intended. Visitors come to experience natural streams, forests, pastures, and wetlands. They also come to learn more about the wildlife who call the area home, including alligators, black bears, white-tail deer and Florida panthers.
The Zipline attraction was created to bring people to the conservation in order to experience the natural beauty of the state and also to learn about the importance of preserving our natural environment. The thirty-two hundred acres of undisturbed natural ecosystems includes pine, wiregrass and palmetto flatwoods, slash pine and sable palm flatwoods, dry and wet prairies, scrub, cypress domes, hydric, mesic and xeric hammocks, a blackwater creek, and sloughs.
Also included on-site is a two-hundred-acre development consisting of a: summer camp, a 3,300-foot FAA-approved airstrip, a reconstructed homesteader cabin, and two modern cabins.
The attraction offers many adventures in addition to the Zipline, including a horseback riding adventure. There is also a full-service restaurant on-site, a week-long summer camp for kids, overnight horseback riding adventure, camping adventures, opportunities for scout programs, and opportunities for teambuilding programs.
In addition to there is an area on-site known as the Crescent J. Ranch, which fulfils the third goal of ABC. This living museum exists to educate visitors about Florida’s unique ranching heritage and the importance of preserving it. The ranch is an 1800-acre working cattle ranch that is home to a number of endangered livestock breeds: Florida Cracker Cattle, Florida Cracker Horses, and Santa Cruz Horses.
