Birmingham Audubon’s Executive Director Suzanne Langley penned an op-ed for al.com last week in support of Constitutional Amendment 2. If enacted the amendment will protect and support permanent funding for Alabama’s State Parks

The big takeaway from the opinion piece:

 

“Birders are among the four to five million users who pay fees each year that provide 80 percent of the funding needed to operate Alabama state parks. This funding should continue to be dedicated to our parks ensuring our access to recreation and continued investment in conservation. Amendment 2 will ensure that the money earned by state parks is used to operate state parks.
