Connecting Fragments of the Pine Rockland Ecosystem of South Florida: The Connect to Protect Network.

The article focuses on the Connect to Protect Network program established by the Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden in Florida. It is aimed at developing healthy native pine rockland corridors and stepping stone gardens on both public and private properties through public outreach, education and restoration support. Volunter workdays are organized to provide restoration support to members. A survey was conducted in 2012 to monitor common and endangered pine rockland plant species.
