In the 1800s, dense oak trees were so valued for shipbuilding that President John Quincy Adams put them under federal protection at Naval Live Oaks Reserve near Gulf Breeze.
Bonus fact:
One of the South’s largest stands of live oak is preserved at the 3,230-acre Bulow Creek State Park near Ormond Beach.
