The Jackson Riverfront Pines Natural Area is located in northeastern Palm Beach
County along the northeastern edge of the northeast fork of the Loxahatchee
River. It is the only riverfront natural area owned by the County. The Natural
Area contains about 3 acres of scrub, scrubby flatwoods, a developing xeric
hammock, mangrove fringe, and a single family residence. It is expected that
the residence will be used as a caretaker’s quarters and/or nature center.
Purchase of the property was approved by the Board of County Commissioners on
October 17, 2006. The $3.6 million purchase price was 42.1% below the average
of two pre-acquisition appraisals obtained by the County.
