as one of America's best college towns and is easily accessible to
three major metropolitan areas (Jacksonville, Orlando and Tampa).
The National Arbor Day Foundation has recognized Gainesville as a
"Tree City USA" every year since 1982. Add the allure of Florida's
famous sunshine, tropical breezes, and abundant wilderness,
springs, rivers and seashores nearby, and it is little wonder that
