Jim Fowlers 'Life In The
Wild'
Noted naturalist and
wild life educator Jim
Fowler is laying plans
for the
development of a 1,200
acre “Life in the Wild”
wildlife park.
Guests will go on a
safari in specially
constructed vehicles
through natural
habitats. The
animals will roam free
and visitors will be
totally immersed in the
world of nature.
This development is
planned for Bonifay, FL,
directly north of Panama
City Beach.
National Audubon Society
Nature Center and West
Bay Preservation Area
In association with the
development of the New
International Airport,
the St. Joe Company and
National Audubon Society
are studying the
feasibility of
establishing a
state-of-the-art world
class nature center.
The West Bay
Preservation Area will
eventually preserve more
than 40,000 acres.
The plan’s objective is
to preserve West Bay
County forever.
The proposed restoration
and nature center site
would initially utilize
as much as 7,000 acres
on the south shore of
West Bay and provide a
multi-functional
facility designed to
promote environmental
education, experiences,
research and stewardship
consistent with the
National Audubon
Society.
