Mobile Baykeeper has joined in the effort to protect the remarkably successful Forever Wild program in Alabama.  The program is up for renewal, and we have joined the coalition of groups that are on record as to supporting renewal of the act as is

 

The Forever Wild program, established in 1992 by constitutional amendment, is Alabama’s premier land acquisition program.  Since establishment, funding for Forever Wild has been used to acquire over 200,000 acres of wildlife habitat.  However, funding for Forever Wild will come to an end in 2012 unless reauthorized.  Furthermore, there are organizations currently working to divert Forever Wild funds for other uses.
