What is Alabama Water Rally?

Alabama Water Rally is the annual conference of the Alabama Rivers Alliance. This is the premier educational and networking and celebratory event for 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 from all parts of Alabama. In 2017, we will be celebrating our 20th year anniversary and will return to our first location — wonderful, wonderful Camp McDowell.

Who attends Alabama Water Rally?

Each year Alabama Water Rally brings more than 100 individual attendees from a variety of backgrounds together to share, network, and learn — and celebrate our 132,000 miles of rivers and streams. Participants include protectors of our rivers, community leaders, students interested in environmental advocacy, agency employees, teachers, elected officials, scientists, lawyers, engineers, concerned citizens, nature lovers, and other eco-minded folks. You’ll mix and mingle with attendees who all want to work together to #DefendRivers.

 

What happens at Alabama Water Rally?

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 socialize, celebrate our victories, share our challenges, and have a fantastical time. Days are packed with informative education sessions and each night features entertainment, live music and a spirit of celebration.
