These lands have been proposed for acquisition because of outstanding natural resources, opportunity for natural resource-based recreation, or historical and archaeological resources. This map does not include Florida Forever projects administered by the water management districts or by other state agencies. Note that boundaries of each Florida Forever BOT project are for the entire project, including areas that have already been acquired. The FFBOT data are updated approximately every two to four months. </SPAN></SPAN></P><P STYLE="font-size:12ptmargin:0 0 0 0;"><SPAN><SPAN /></SPAN></P><P STYLE="font-size:12ptmargin:0 0 0 0;"><A href="https://www.fnai.org/publications/gis-data" STYLE="text-decoration:underline;"><SPAN STYLE="text-decoration:underline;"><SPAN>Download the Florida Forever BOT Projects shapefile (FFBOT)</SPAN></SPAN></A><SPAN><SPAN> or view the </SPAN></SPAN><A href="https://www.fnai.org/shapefiles/ffbot_meta_202310.htm" STYLE="text-decoration:underline;"><SPAN STYLE="text-decoration:underline;"><SPAN>Metadata</SPAN></SPAN></A></P><P /><P STYLE="font-size:12ptmargin:0 0 0 0;"><A href="https://floridadep.gov/lands/environmental-services/content/florida-forever-priority-list-annual-work-plan" STYLE="text-decoration:underline;"><SPAN STYLE="text-decoration:underline;"><SPAN>View the latest Florida Forever Priority list </SPAN></SPAN></A><SPAN><SPAN> </SPAN></SPAN></P><P STYLE="font-size:12ptmargin:0 0 0 0;"><SPAN><SPAN /></SPAN></P><P STYLE="font-size:12ptmargin:0 0 0 0;"><SPAN><SPAN>Citation: Florida Natural Areas Inventory.
