Babcock Ranch Eco Tours - Punta Gorda, Florida
Babcock Ranch Eco-Tour takes you on 90 minute eco-tour through the Babcock Ranch. You will travel through the working cattle ranch and learn its history, wander through Florida eco-systems, all the while getting up close and personal with the local wildlife.
The Crescent B Ranch is still a working cattle ranch. With over 14,000 acres in pasture land, the horse is vital to the ranch operation.
Wild turkeys can be spotted in both pine flatwoods and on the fingers of the prairies.
On the prairies and at the edges of the pine flatwoods, you might spot the occasional caracara. They frequently are seen mixed in with flocks of local vultures.
As well as our beef cattle, you may see “Cracker Cattle”. Cracker Cattle are descendants of the cattle brought here by
the early Spanish settlers.
The soft shell turtle is indeed an amphibious oddity!
The magnificent osprey is often found along the edge of the Telegraph Creek. If you watch closely you may see one swoop down to catch a fish!
Sandhill Cranes are a frequent visitor to the prairie, along with herds of native deer that roam the property. One of the larger members of the squirrel family, the fox squirrel is usually spotted in the pine flatwoods, in which pine cones make up a large part of their diet.

Driving from North Fort Myers to the Babcock Ranch Preserve - Charlotte County, Florida
Occupying land in both Charlotte and Lee counties near Fort Myers, Babcock Ranch was named after Edward Vose Babcock, a lumber baron and mayor of Pittsburgh (1918–1922), who purchased the land in 1914. The land's primary use was logging and agriculture, and those uses continue to generate funds for maintenance and operation of the Babcock Ranch Preserve. The Babcock Ranch Preserve Act enacted by the Florida legislature in 2006 made it the first Florida preserve responsible for generating its own funding under a public private management partnership that includes the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission and the Florida Forest Service.

Walking around Babcock Ranch Community - Charlotte County, Florida
Babcock Ranch is an approximately 17,000-acre (68.80 km2; 26.56 sq mi) planned community under development in Southwest Florida that was approved as part of a public-private partnership strategy with the State of Florida and local governments. The deal established the neighboring Babcock Ranch Preserve.
Plans for the future city of Babcock Ranch were announced in 2005 by real estate development firm Kitson & Partners as part of a complex real estate transaction that facilitated the largest conservation land acquisition in Florida history. In 2009, the company joined with Florida Power & Light to announce plans to make Babcock Ranch the first solar-powered city in the United States. The largest photovoltaic power station in the world and a network of rooftop solar panels on commercial buildings, planned to be expanded over time, are intended to send more renewable power into the Florida electrical grid than the city consumes. Kitson & Partners have stated their goal is for Babcock Ranch to be the world's most sustainable city A grand opening is planned for Earth Day 2016.
