Julington-Durbin Preserve

The preserve is a natural oasis among the urban areas of Jacksonville and St. Johns County, located on a peninsula formed at the confluence of Julington and Durbin creeks. The peninsula is a long sandy ridge that transitions into floodplain swamp and marsh along the creeks’ shores, protecting approximately nine miles of shoreline along the two creeks. Natural communities consist of sandhill along the higher areas near the center of the peninsula and flatwoods at the lower elevations. The preserve contains extensive floodplain wetlands, providing water quality and floodplain protection for both creeks and the St. Johns River.
