Credit goes to Rep. Riley, Sen Sessions and the rest of the delegation for seeing the state's natural resources as something other than pawns in partisan power struggles. All Alabamians will benefit. He pours over them looking for green areas, the areas that are set aside. They look for places that are far from the groaning highways and noise of development. They look for quiet, and the bigger the green spot the quieter and more attractive the area.
Few places peak more curiosity than the Wilderness Area.
We already have a lot to offer in our area. Cheaha is a Wilderness Area and the Pinhoti and Chief Ladiga Trails run through the region. Put them all together, and it is an outdoorsman's heaven. Think of our position between Atlanta and Birmingham. These city dwellers need to get out and breath the fresh air and explore nature now and then.
