WHAT IS ALABAMA WATER RALLY?

Alabama Water Rally is the annual gathering of Alabama’s network of water advocates and allies hosted by the Alabama Rivers Alliance. This is the premiere educational, networking and celebratory event for community and watershed based organizations as well as individual Alabamians interested in #CleanWater and protection of all our waterways. The conference moves to different regions of the state each year so that it is accessible to citizens and groups from all parts of Alabama. In 2019, we escape together to Camp Beckwith in beautiful Fairhope, Alabama.

Alabama Water Rally participants receive professional development training from experts on the newest ideas and innovations in science, community organizing, advocacy work, campaign development, strategic planning and environmental policy work. It’s a great opportunity for professional development as well as a chance to commune with eco-minded people to hang out, celebrate our victories, share our challenges, and plan for the future. Days are packed with informative education sessions and each night features a spirit of celebration with live music, food & drink, and so much moreEscape with us!
