Wild Turkey Strand Preserve is a 3,137 acre area of protected lands in Lee County, Florida. The preserve is off State Route south of Lehigh Acres. It includes part of the former Buckingham Army Airfield, a World War II-era training base.[1]

The preserve includes flatwoods, cypress strand swamps, cypress dome swamps, freshwater marshes, wet prairies, and abandoned agricultural pasture. There is a 1.8 mile trail with boardwalks and interpretive signage.[1] The preserve lands were acquired during the first decade of the 21st century.
