Earth Day

Alabama joins the globe in celebrating the 54th annual Earth Day on April 22. The state has something for everybody, whether that’s the Appalachian Mountains, Cathedral Caverns or Gulf coast beaches. The state’s nine national parks offer a unique experience of variety and biological diversity.

Earth Day is celebrated during the month of April, but there are also several other free events happening throughout coastal Alabama this month to help people learn about and appreciate the local environment.
