In short, the massive environmental project involved clearing out all the non-native plants as well as about 60,000 cubic yards of sand from the 11.7 acre Fullerton Island in order to fill part of its interior with shallow water and smaller mangrove and seagrass habitats that allow for quite the wildlife experience.

In Jupiter, we’re lucky enough to welcome two MLB teams to the area during Spring Training—the St. Louis Cardinals and the Miami Marlins—and regardless of whether or not you’re a baseball fan, there’s nothing quite like the combination of the warm Florida sunshine and some great early season baseball, especially if you’re just visiting from somewhere up north.
