The Wellington Environmental Preserve at the Marjory Stoneman Douglas Everglades Habitat Section 24 is a 365-acre rainwater storage area in Wellington, FL. It features nature trails, learning centers, a boardwalk, a butterfly garden, an equestrian trail, an observation tower, and walking trails.
Constructed through a partnership between the South Florida Water Management District and Wellington, the preserve serves as a crucial component in cleansing rainwater from Wellington before it enters the Florida Everglades, in compliance with the 1994 Everglades Forever Act. With its wetland marsh area, littoral shelves, and deep water sediment traps, the preserve provides visitors with an exhibition of natural Florida, showcasing the region's diverse flora and fauna.
