The Department of Environmental Resources Management (ERM) has installed natural area displays inside several county branch libraries to let people know about the environmental treasures located throughout Palm Beach County.

Each display features a six-foot-tall poster detailing wildlife and plant life found in a local natural area, along with a map and location information. The display also includes a brochure rack containing guides which provide detailed information about the county’s entire 31,000-acre natural area system.

Natural area exhibits are currently on display at the Jupiter (705 Military Trail), West Palm Beach (5689 Okeechobee Blvd.) and Lantana (4020 Lantana Road) branches. The displays will be rotated throughout the county over the next few years.
