Thank you to Lakes Education/Action Drive (LE/AD) for their continued efforts and dedication toward preserving and protecting our water resources.

The following educational displays are located in Southern Landing (Anchor Park) across from Florida Southern College on Lake Hollingsworth Dr.
Welcome to Southern Landing

The 2-acre man-made wetland captures 60 acres of stormwater runoff to help reduce pollutants from entering Lake Hollingsworth. Two deep bays receive runoff and then flow across shallow marshy shelves planted with aquatic vegetation. The plants and wetland soils play an important role in filtering additional pollutants from the stormwater before discharging into the lake.
