Maintained and administered by Alabama Marine Resources Division, this 11 acres of subtropical natural wonder represents a botanical treasure-trove found on no other Gulf barrier island. Several plant species occurring here are representatives of families found as far inland as the Appalachian Mountains and from as far south as Yucatan state, Mexico. Many were probably transported here by Indian groups hundreds of years ago for medicinal and culinary purposes. An estimated 25,000 people, comprised of student tours, elder-hostels and birding groups, visit the Mounds each year. Call Alabama Marine Resources Division (251) 861-2882 for more info.
