In the
mid-1970s, Interstate 95 was constructed just east of the CSX
Railroad with an interchange at Yamato Road. A four-lane section of
Clint Moore Road was constructed through the Natural Area at the
same time. This section began at Congress Avenue and went east
along the southern border of the City and County-owned tract. The
road then curved to the southeast, crossing the Natural Area, the
CSX Railroad and I-95 on an overpass with raised embankment, and
connecting to Jeffrey Street in the Boca Teeca development. The
embankment had a golf cart underpass built through it(NOW USED FOR
WILDLIFE CROSSING), presumably because the Boca Teeca Corporation
had hopes of building another golf course on the Natural Area.
Clint Moore Road was named after Clint Moore, a farmer and paving
contractor who came to the area in the 1920s, and who sold the land
for the original sections of the road to the County.
On March 1, 1994, the County and the City of Boca Raton jointly
purchased 10 acres of the site from Knight Investments, Inc. On
February 27, 1997, the 207 acre Boca Commerce Center Associates
tract was purchased jointly by the County, the City, and the State.
State Preservation 2000 matching funds were provided through the
Conservation and Recreation Lands program. The Yamato Scrub Natural
Area is managed as part of a countywide system of natural areas,
protected to maintain the diversity of biological communities and
species in Palm Beach County. The site is available to local
residents and organizations for environmental education, scientific
research, and passive recreation such as photography, bird
watching, and nature walks.
