Corbett is in the transitional zone between the uplands of central
Florida and the nearly level Everglades. The most extensive natural
communities on Corbett are pine flatwoods, marshes and wet prairies,
and cypress sloughs and domes. Hammocks are found in isolated
locations throughout Corbett. The Hungryland trail and boardwalk
passes through one of the hammocks. Within Corbett are a number
of disturbed areas including 170 acres of old tomato fields, which
are being converted into food plots for wildlife.
