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.

“For the tourism industry in Northwest Florida there is no playbook at this point for dealing with the pandemic. I would say that those business owners that have developed a plan to be as flexible, creative and transparent as possible are coming out ahead.
I have noticed that some hotel owners are taking this opportunity to spruce up their hotels if they have the money.
But across the board, the luxury lodging sector is taking the biggest hit.
Fortunately, for the hospitality industry we’re in a bubble here in Northwest Florida. We are a drive market, and people are still driving here from New Orleans and Atlanta and other major southeastern cities. People still want to come to Northwest Florida and get away like they did before COVID.”
