Water Features
Water features and their surrounding vegetative communities diversify the landscape and habitats of the Dixon Center. From the bottomlands and frontage of the Conecuh River to large clearwater streams and creeks, sinkholes, seeps, and bogs, each water feature creates unique communities of plants and animals.
Water History
Aside from the plants and wildlife, the Dixon Family understood the value of water and used this resource for many purposes, from moving and shaping lumber to operating grist mills to supplying running water to the Dixon home. Remnants of their activities can be found across the property.
Management Process
Although the Dixon Center does not manage water, we realize the value of water and work to protect it in every way we can. Historically and today, water considerations go into forest management decisions that pertain to harvesting, skidding, road maintenance, and many other activities.
