    As an Alabama Forest Landowner I have been involved in workshops through Mississippi State University and Auburn University. I was involved in the Montgomery Chapter of The Alabama Treasure Forest and The Baldwin County chapter where I volunteered on various tours and educational programs.My great grandfather is the "father of conservation" in Alabama and erected the first fire tower. He also imported deer and turkey from overseas and is credited for the vast population we have in Alabama. (E.F. Allison)While not a teacher, I took the Teacher Conservation Workshop through Discovering Alabama with Doug Philips directing, in an effort to learn what our children know about Alabama's natural resources and what teachers are learning to take back to the classroom.Forestry is Alabama's number one industry, with tourism a close second. I am blessed to live in a state as unique as Alabama, with mountains, streams, Little River Canyon which is a secret sanctuary, caves, farmland, navigable rivers throughout the state, lakes and our finest treasure, white sandy beaches. FIND a state that has all that!I hope to write about Alabama's treasures and continue to help the forestry association educate our youth and our citizens about the woods of Alabama.
