Our music is the whisper of the wind through the pines--the rustle of the breezes playing in the palm fronds--the flute-like call of hawks and rap of woodpeckers.
Sunnier Palms has 12 acres of natural pine forest surrounded by canals and citrus groves.  It is a perfect place to delight the senses; to feel the warm breeze caress your naked body as a mother caresses a baby; to catch the fragrance of the citrus blossoms and the honey-scented palm blossoms.
A few of the wildlife you might encounter include bobcat, great horned owl, pileated woodpecker, gopher tortoise, and many kinds of butterflies.  The area is used by the Audubon Society for the annual bird count.

In 1993 Sunnier Palms helped the preservation of an endangered plant, the Lutea.  Sunnier provided a habitat for the care of a dozen of the rare species of pitcher plants, while they were being transplanted to a new site by the St. Lucie County and the state Division of Forestry.  This relocation of the Lutea was necessary because of change in land use and development elsewhere in the County.  During their temporary care, several plants established permanently in the wetland at Sunnier Palms, and they dazzle residents with their blooms.  Meanwhile, a scientist at the Carnegie Museum of Natural History requested we be on the lookout for the rarest species of Exyra moth, which eats only Lutea.
Another preservation project involved the rare Atala butterfly, which eats the coontie, a species of cycad.  In 1994, Sunnier harvested hundreds of larvae, caterpillars, and chrysalids of Atala from a neighboring development.  The development's cycads were being inundated by Atala because of the absence of a local bird population.
Just before the Atala were about to be killed with a pesticide, they were relocated to Sunnier Palms, and coonties were planted.  The local bird populations should have no problem maintaining the balance of nature.  Other butterfly habitats that are being fostered by Sunnier for locations throughout southern Florida support populations of the Zebra Longwing and Gulf Fritillary butterflies.  We look forward to be involved in the children's network to support a migration network for the Monarch butterfly from Canada to Mexico.
