Here at Big Sky Sanctuary, we are currently working on a 6 Acre restoration and reforestation botanical garden project. 2 fenced acres of a developing fruit and botanical forest, and the remaining 4 acres is grassland with some trees and a seasonal pond.
We have planted a variety of plants and fruit trees; Mangos, Bananas, Plantains, Pomegranate, Figs, Ice Cream Bean Tree, Mulberries, Star Apples, Rose Apples, Soursop, Eggfruit, Peanut Butter Fruit Tree, White Sapote, Black Sapote, Jujubes, Jaboticabas, Lychee, Coconuts, Papaya, Avocado, Starfruit, Noni, Grumichama, Cherimoya, Jackfruit, Longan, Cacao, Sugar Apple, Pond Apples, Guavas, Pineapple Guava, Loquats, Pineapples, June Plum, Strawberry Fruit Tree, Surinam Cherry, Monstera Deliciosa, Prickly Pear Cactus, Lemons, Key Limes, and more - most of which are in our enclosed 2 acres.
We are allowing nature to regenerate itself in the grassland area by essentially not touching it / not mowing everything down. We have our trails designed, but all else is up to nature; letting the plant and tree life build itself back. We will be digging ponds and planting plants as well to assist this process.
Right now, we have 2 Campsites, all of which are located in the 4 acres of grassland/prairie.
There is plenty of wildlife around for you to enjoy out here. Enjoy waking up to the sounds of birds and not the sounds of cars.
-Our Trails are great for Biking, running, walking, one-wheeling and other electric vehicles (e-scooters, e-bikes, etc.)!
