Split Oak Forest Mitigation Park WEA comprises eleven natural communities, which include<br />
scrubby flatwoods, pineland, xeric oak scrub, hardwood hammock, freshwater marsh, cypress<br />
swamp, hardwood swamp, shrub swamp, open water, and grassland. Turpentine operations were<br />
long ago conducted on site, with the more recent use being cattle grazing. The former owners<br />
cleared only a limited area for improved pasture, so most of the site remains intact. Chinese tallow<br />
occurred primarily in a cypress/hardwood floodplain swamp near Lake Hart and along nearby cypress<br />
domes and depression marshes in the northwest corner of the park.<br />
