Summary
[edit]DescriptionMy Public Lands Roadtrip- Sunny Alabama Shores for National Trails Day! (18581840295).jpg |
Today, we’re heading over to Baldwin County, Alabama, where the BLM manages seven small beach front tracts. All of these tracts are designated critical habitat for Alabama beach mouse and contain primary dunes, the preferred habitat for this species. The tracts also provide nesting habitat for loggerhead sea turtles. In fact, these beaches are one of the few areas in the U.S. that federally-threatened Loggerhead Sea Turtles use for nesting. Actually locating a sea turtle nesting spot - momma turtles like to hide and lay eggs at night - and watching eggs hatch are rare events. Volunteers regularly patrol the beaches and watch for signs of turtle nesting. BLM Southeastern States employees and volunteers also maintain some of the areas and trails around the beach tracts. As a joint project, employees and volunteers defined the existing pedestrian pathway through the dunes with a unobtrusive fence. The marked path is intended to guide visitors to the beach and away from the unique habitat for wildlife. Thanks to the volunteers whose work is critical to the conservation and recreation activities along the BLM-managed shoreline. |
