Restoration Ramble: Prescribed Fire in Gulf State Park

The Pensacola and Perdido Bays Estuary Program is proud to announce the return of our Restoration Rambles Program! These easy, guided walking tours highlight local restoration sites and will be offered monthly from November - March on rotating Fridays and Saturdays. Check our calendar at https://www.ppbep.org/get-involved for future program dates.

Join us for a Restoration Ramble led by Alabama State Park to learn about the fire-dependent ecosystem in Gulf State Park and current restoration management practices. During this hike, you’ll learn about the important benefits of routine controlled burns and pass by a bald eagle's nest, where you'll have the opportunity to learn more about these incredible birds.
