Alabama News Center — Alabama State Parks adding 12 pollinator gardens thanks to RC&D grant funding

By: Josh Bean

The Alabama Association of Resource, Conservation and Development (RC&D) Councils recently presented a $25,000 grant to Alabama State Parks during the Pollinator Festival at Oak Mountain State Park (OMSP).

The RC&D grant will fund development of 12 pollinator gardens at state parks throughout the state.

“We truly appreciate RC&D for funding this project, which will create a new interactive experience for state parks visitors to enjoy,” Alabama State Parks Director Greg Lein said. “These pollinator gardens are more than just something pretty to look at and enjoy. They also improve and enhance habitat for pollinators, and that has incredible ecological benefits for all Alabamians.”
