FreeTuesday, December 15 – Water is Life with Ben Raines, author of the new book, Saving America’s Amazon: The Threat to Our Nation’s Most Biodiverse River System.

We promise you’ll walk away from this discussion with great pride to be from Alabama with an even greater appreciation of Alabama’s natural spaces. and recognizing a more urgent need to protect them.
