Wakulla Springs

Conservation Florida plans to relocate a proposed gas station from development over the cave complex.

It’s being called a huge win for Florida’s environment

A new alternative to a gas station over Wakulla Springs is emerging: sell the land to the Florida Forever land preservation program.

Commissioners are pushing back a rezoning hearing after hundreds of residents showed up to it.

Wakulla County Commissioners are poised to make a decision next Monday on a rezoning proposal that, if passed, would allow a gas station to be built over an underground cave that feeds into Wakulla Springs.

Some residents say Wakulla County commissioners are not doing all they can to ensure Wakulla Springs stays clean.

The Woodville Karst Plain Project will be helping repair observation platforms at Emerald and Cheryl sinks next week.

Wakulla Springs State Park is once again doing a Spooky Springs Cruise this October. Kat Wilson is a ranger with the park. She will be narrating local folktales and ghost stories during the cruise.

Wakulla Springs is the worlds' largest and deepest freshwater spring. It was once famous for its crystal-clear waters. Tourists flocked to what's now Wakulla Springs State Park for a chance to look deep into the water on a glass-bottom boat tour. But the water has since darkened, and the tours haven't run in years. But for at least a moment, the waters are clear again.

Florida will spend $75 million on spring restoration projects for the 2021 - 2022 fiscal year. Officials are now reviewing project proposals from across the state. One of them is based in Leon County. It will upgrade a wastewater treatment facility so that it can take on more sewage.
