Our NSS Nature Preserve at Mill Creek Sink in Alachua, Florida, is under imminent threat from nearby proposed development despite being protected by our ownership.
Mill Creek Sink Nature Preserve is considered one of the most significant hydrological and geological features in Alachua County. However, multiple commercial and residential developments are being planned on parcels surrounding our preserve, compounding the risk of stormwater and non-point source pollution which may drain into Mill Creek Sink.
Scientific research indicates that water from Mill Creek Sink emerges at three priority (yet impaired) Florida springs that are vital habitat for wildlife. Biological studies in the sink and other nearby underwater caves and springs document rare species such as the blind cave crayfish, the Pallid Cave crayfish, the Florida Cave amphipod, and the Hobb's Cave amphipod, which are considered "species of special concern" designated by the State of Florida. And the potential for new species exists. Additionally, the cave is still being surveyed, possibly extending the underwater cavern farther than its known extent.
The NSS has hired Sunshine Law to review the applications for zoning variances and building permits related to these developments. Utilizing our Litigation to Protect Caves Fund, we can pay for consultation, research, and sustained legal defense to ensure the high-density development which could impact our Mill Creek Sink Nature Preserve is meeting criteria for responsible development, thus ensuring the protection of this fragile underwater habitat.
We need your help to maintain funding for this legal battle and future legal issues. Your financial donations will ensure our ability to protect this resource for NSS members and the public, as well as ensure we don’t deplete revenue from our Litigation to Protect Caves Fund.
Thank you for supporting cave conservation and management, as well as our Litigation to Protect Caves Fund. For more information, please contact [email protected].

Faux Falls by James Marvin Phelps Via Flickr: Faux Falls Moab, Utah September 2023 Faux Falls isn't a natural wonder; it's a masterpiece of human engineering. The water is diverted from the meandering Mill Creek through an underground labyrinth beneath Brimley Ridge, only to let the water gracefully tumble over Faux Falls. The culmination of this hydrological action takes place at Ken's Lake, where the water is stored, a vision conceived in the minds of early settlers who dared to dream big in the Moab wilderness. The project's completion, a testament to their perseverance, didn't materialize until the year 1981.
I wouldn’t have posted back-to-back tern photos, except that this bird is wearing an ankle band, which is always fun to see.
