A little background on Tarkiln Bayou Preserve
Tarkiln Bayou Preserve was established in 1998 with funds from the Preservation 2000 Conservation & Recreation Lands (CARL) program. Over the years, several acquisitions have expanded the preserve to 4,470 acres. The unit is named for Tarkiln Bayou, which empties into Perdido Bay in Escambia County on the Florida/Alabama line. The history of the entire area is heavily associated with the turpentine industry. The namesake bayou was even named for a “tar kiln” located on the peninsula portion of the preserve. Historically, the Tarkiln peninsula has been home to an assortment of longleaf pine communities in addition to expansive wet prairies inhabited by a wide array of carnivorous plants.
