Support The Reauthorization Of Forever Wild

Everyone who lives in Alabama should contact their state legislators and ask them to support the reauthorization of the Forever Wild program in Alabama, which expires via sunset next year. This program enables the state to spend money from non-tax sources to buy and maintain parcels of land for public use. Over the 20 years the program has been in place, ~200,000 acres of land have been purchased. My favorite state land tract, the Walls of Jericho, is one of the more recent of these purchases now with about 9,000 acres which largely protects the upper Paint Rock River drainage in Jackson County.
