Alabama Wildlife Federation’s Delta & Bay Conservation Center at Five Rivers (DBCC) is located on a sprawling, 70-acre property with forests, waterfront, and newly renovated education facilities. DBCC highlights the unique features of the Mobile-Tensaw River Delta and Mobile Bay with stunning views, water access, and a Discovery Hall with hands-on exhibits designed to educate visitors about the wildlife, forests, fish, aquatic resources, and outdoor excursions of the Delta and Bay. The property’s coastal pine and live oak forests are traversed by beautiful trails. The facility also includes a 90-seat theater, classrooms, pavilions, conference center, gift shop, and a kayak launch.

DBCC is a Planned-Use Outdoor Education facility offering hands-on, outdoor-based education programs and activities for students, educators, church and civic groups, and the general public. We offer field trips for public, private, and homeschool groups, day camps for youth, weekday and weekend activities for the general public, walking trails, a gift shop, and meeting and event rentals. Interested groups can choose from programs designed by DBCC staff, or programs can be customized to meet your needs. To sign up for education programs, day camps, special events, or to inquire about meeting/event rentals and pricing, navigate to the appropriate web links on this site or email DBCC@alabamawildlife.org

DBCC is located right off of the causeway in Spanish Fort. General admission is $5.00 per person / children 3 & under FREE / $20 max charge per family. This includes access to the hands-on Discovery Hall, theater, classrooms, gift shop, and hiking trails, while learning about the fascinating natural history of the Delta & Bay. If you plan to attend regularly, we offer Season Pass and Club Pass options to provide a more affordable option.

To maximize your experience and your opportunity to view native wildlife, and to avoid disruption of education programs, DBCC is a no smoking and no pets facility.

AWF operates DBCC under a lease-to-own agreement with the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources.
