The Green Anole is a small, native lizard in Alabama that can change from green to brown. They are insectivores and support a healthy local food web by serving as a food source for larger birds and snakes while regulating insect populations.
Thanks Danielle Stubblefield for the great videography!

ANC’s Matt Vines demonstrates how to use a cast net.
Cast net fishing, also called throw net fishing, is an active fishing method where an angler throws a circular net by hand into the water’s surface. These nets have weights along the perimeter in order for the net to sink fast and trap fish beneath them.
Happy fishing!
