Pick up a free trail guide to learn about the oldest and highest part of the barrier island is covered with a forest called a hammock ("shady place") -- an ancient dune on which larger plant species have taken root in the thin layer of decayed remains from pioneer species. Cabbage palm, red bay, magnolia, and live oak provide a canopy under which diverse animal species can thrive. These plants provide food for animals as well as for migrating birds who stop for a rest in the maritime forest. Follow this link for a digital trail guide.
