Forever Wild board set for next meeting

The Board of Trustees of the Alabama Forever Wild Land Trust will hold its second quarterly meeting on June 19, at Lake Guntersville State Park, 1155 Lodge Drive, Guntersville. The meeting will begin at 10 a.m., and will be held in the Lodge’s Goldenrod Room.

At this meeting, Forever Wild program activities and tract assessments will be updated. This meeting will also serve as a public hearing for any individual who would like to make comments concerning the program.

The public is invited to attend the meeting and is urged to submit comments and nominations of tracts of land for possible Forever Wild acquisition. Written nominations may be made through the Forever Wild website, www.alabamaforeverwild.com, or by letter addressed to the State Lands Division, Room 464, 64 N. Union St., Montgomery, AL 36130.

Quarterly meetings of the Forever Wild Board are held to maximize public input into the program. Only through active public participation can the best places in Alabama be identified and protected in order to remain forever wild.
