Wow! A little over a year ago, I started working the Center for Economic Development on the University of Alabama campus on a project with the Alabama Tourism Department. We took the project over from a consultant who had done a good bit of initial work into organizing folks. We held the first of four kick-offs last week, this one for the Piedmont Plateau Birding Trail. We’ll be doing the other 3, along with some additional work on 4 that already exist to varying degrees in Alabama, over the next year. For now, explore the Piedmont Plateau Birding Trail on the statewide website that I’ve set up: for the Alabama Birding Trails project: www.alabamabirdingtrails.com. It isn’t fully developed yet, but you can read about each of the sites, see photos for many of them and find all of them via gps mapping. What a great project! (Snapshot of the website below)
