This project would acquire the Wolf Bay Nature Preserve Tract. These 569 acres within the Alabama Coastal Area have been designated as a Geographic Area of Particular Concern, a Gulf Ecological Management Site, and an Outstanding Alabama Water. The acquisition would include 458 acres of wetlands and 111 acres of uplands. The property supports 147 species and natural communities such as wet flatwood bog, southern coastal plain, floodplain forests, and tidal herbaceous vegetation including black needlerush. The site is under significant development pressure. Management, conservation and restoration activities could occur with the acquisition of this parcel.
