The 4,870-acre tract known as the Balm-Boyette Scrub Preserve is within the Alafia River watershed of south-central Hillsborough County, approximately 5 miles southeast of Riverview.
The management plan for Balm Boyette Scrub Preserve (BBS) is updated every 10 years. Each time the plan is updated, the public is invited to review and comment on the management of natural habitats and recreational resources on the preserve. The current draft was shared with an advisory group of environmental professionals who also provided comments.
The management plan is comprised of several sections, each addressing strategies to keep the preserve thriving and healthy for decades to come. This is your opportunity to review the plan and provide comments.
