Delray Oaks Natural Area
2021 SW 29th Street
In December 1995 Palm Beach County purchased almost twenty-two acres of the Delray Oaks site from A&A Associates and three acres from the Land Resources Investment company. State Preservation 2000 matching funds for these acquisitions were provided by The Florida Communities Trust. This site is managed as part of a countywide system of natural area, protected to maintain the diversity of biological communities and species in Palm Beach County. The natural area is open to the public for environmental education, scientific research and passive recreational activities such as photography, nature walks and bird watching. Public use facilities include a parking area, an accessible nature trail with observation platform, information kiosk and a hiking trail.
Delray Oaks contains some of the best remaining examples of prairie and xeric hammock ecosystems in Palm Beach County. The 25-acre site also contains a small wetland and areas of mesic flat woods. The tree canopy includes many live oak trees and sabal palms, with an understory of wild coffee, beauty berry and saw palmetto. Oak hammocks are rare in Florida and in Palm Beach County, due to urban development. The oak hammock community only develops in areas where fires have not occurred for at least 30 years. These hammocks do not normally cover extensive area, but occur as isolated patches.
