A boardwalk view of the freshwater wetland that the Centennial Trail in Bon Secour NWR meanders through. This freshwater wetland along with scrub hammocks, sweet gum swamps and dunes comprise the refuge and provide habitat for many animals and plants. These lands also protect the interior communities during hurricanes when tide surges can cause severe flooding.
