We are SO thrilled that the City of Montgomery (@cityofmontgomery) has designated the second Tuesday in April as Rivers of Alabama Day, in symphony with the State Legislature’s designation in 2007! Cindy was invited to accept the proclamation from the FIRST city to make such a designation. We can't wait for other cities and towns across Alabama to follow their lead. Special thank you to the City of Montgomery, Councilor Andrew Szymanski (@aszymanski5), and Mayor Steven L. Reed (@stevenlouisreed) for this special proclamation!

Learn more about what ARA does to celebrate Rivers of Alabama Day (Lobby Day)! from our link in bio and register today to join us in Montgomery April 9 when we return to talk with your representatives about improving our state's fish consumption advisories and a SUPER SECRET exciting NEW bill that will celebrate our state's unique biodiversity! We can't wait to tell you more about it. 🐟

Howdy, Young Professionals of Tuscaloosa! Looking

Howdy, Young Professionals of Tuscaloosa! Looking for a fun Saturday afternoon and to get involved with environmentalism in Alabama? Join ARA's Young Professional River Defenders on April 13 for a hike and social afterwards in Tuscaloosa!

3:00 pm - Gather at Hurricane Creek Park for a guided hike and presentation from YOUR Hurricane Creekkeeper -- the legendary John Wathen! We'll listen to John speak about his efforts to preserve Hurricane Creek and hit the trail after for an easy hike.
*Meet us at 7005 Old Birmingham Hwy, Tuscaloosa, AL 35404.*

5:30 pm - After the hike, we'll head to Loosa Brews for a laid-back social! Enjoy craft beer and great conversations with fellow young professionals who share your passion for environmental stewardship and community engagement. Plus, we've got pizza coming around 6 pm - because why not treat ourselves after a day of adventure?

Come out to both events - or just one! - for a great time and to learn more about the Alabama Rivers Alliance and the Young Professional River Defenders! The hike is weather-dependent, but we'll gather for a social at Loosa Brews rain or shine. We can't wait to hang out in Tuscaloosa and hope you'll join us!

We’ll provide helpful tips and a special training on how to talk to your legislators about the water issues that matter to you, as well as information about ARA’s legislative priorities in 2024 and beyond.
