In 2021, we donated 1,000 bald cypress trees, which were planted along the north shore of Lake Apopka as part of ongoing restoration efforts. Bald cypress trees help to manage and regulate floods, remove nitrogen and phosphorus from water, and maintain a healthy PH. Over time, phosphorus levels in Lake Apopka have declined by 67%–69%, and water clarity has increased by 66%–97% since the late 1980s, with annual average phosphorus concentration falling below target levels for the first time in 2022. We are so grateful that the Farm Races family was able to play a role in that!
