LITTLE CRITTER. BIG JOB.

What can one tiny mouse teach us about the future of Alabama’s coast?

Join us for our next SALT Talk and discover why the endangered Alabama Beach Mouse is far more important than its size might suggest. From dunes and habitat to the health of our coastal ecosystem, this little native species plays a big role in the places we’re working to protect.

Hear from 2 experts on the importance of the Alabama Beach Mouse:

🌿 Carl Couret — SALT Board member and retired US Fish & Wildlife field biologist
🌿 Dr. Andrew Gentry — Senior Education & Research Manager, The Learning Campus at Gulf State Park

📅 Thursday, October 1, 2026
🕠 5:30–6:30 p.m.

🌊🌱 What a night at Sip and Sprout! 🌱🌊

🌿 Ever wonder how a terrarium relates to Alabama's watersheds? At last night's Sip & Sprout, we found out — it's a mini model of conservation in action!

Protecting the land around our watersheds means fewer rooftops, more tree tops. And with your support, we can protect more land than ever.

Thank you to everyone who joined us, and to our members and volunteers who make this work possible. Want in? Join SALT and help protect land in South Alabama. 💧

More good times (and good causes) coming soon — stay tuned!

We're all in this together. 🌊

🦀 The time to protect is NOW.

The health of our seafood starts at the shoreline.

Every acre of wetlands, marshes, and coastal habitat we protect helps keep our waters cleaner, supports thriving fisheries, and preserves the natural resources that make coastal Alabama so special. Once these places are lost, we can't get them back.

This Spring Appeal, your gift will help SALT protect the lands that protect our coast.

💚 Donate today and make a lasting impact.
