Save Our Pines is a non-profit organization that has continued its mission to protect and preserve the historic Australian pine canopy at Fort Zachary Taylor State Park.

As the existing pines continue to age, they are disappearing due to natural attrition and adverse weather. Save Our Pines is attempting to obtain a legislative exemption for the pines under the Florida state invasive species law.

The historical significance of Fort Zach’s Australian pines has been researched, documented and recorded and now needs to be formally recognized. The Australian pines have existed at Fort Zach since the 1800s.

They have acted as treasured veterans, shielding the Fort from adverse weather events, anchoring the dredge fill—since its introduction in the 60s—and effectively preventing erosion damage to the beach.

These culturally significant trees should be honored, valued, and preserved to continue their function for the benefit of this National Historic Landmark and its visitors.
