collected within 10 miles of Olustee Battlefield between 1861 and 1975: 75 Animalia, 66 Plantae, 56 Fungi, 3 Unrecorded, 1 Protozoa.
12 distinct Species records are shown.
Collected by A. & H. Dietrich, A. H. Antonie, A.E. Daugherty and others. Each is a
physical object with a catalogue
number, and each entry opens the museum's record. This is what was
collected and kept, not a survey of what lives here - nothing can be
concluded from a species being absent.

Olustee, the town this property stands in, in 10 storm reports between 2002 and 2025: 4 thunderstorm wind, 4 heavy rain, 1 hail, 1 tornado.
No death or injury is recorded in these reports. Each account below is quoted exactly as the forecast office
filed it, from the NOAA Storm Events Database, and each date
opens the federal record of that event.
At approximately 11:38 AM EDT, a tornado with estimated peak winds|of 90 mph touched down over the Osceola National Forest near NE|Olino Rd, just north of Interstate 10 in Olustee, FL. The tornado|broke off many small branches, snapped tree trunks of many small |pines trees, and ripped the bark off of a medium sized pine tree |at NE Olino Rd near NE Gum Swamp Rd before quickly progressing |northeastward into a heavily forested area. The tornado then |proceeded to snap the trunks of many small pine trees on County |Road 250A as well as a service road just off of CR 250A before |continuing into more dense forest to its northeast. The width of |the tornado's track became much more narrow as it crossed into |far western Baker County and ended near Forest Road 211, where |several more small tree trunks were snapped.
Florida State Warning Point reported Interstate 10 East Bound through the Osceola National Forest had to be closed at mile marker 317 due to a downed tree. No injuries or fatalities.
Five trees were blown down along County Road 250 between the Columbia county line and County Road 229. The time of the event was based on radar imagery.
