Behind every project is a community need, dedicated people, and a vision for making Northwest Alabama even stronger. We are honored to work alongside the organizations and community leaders who turn these ideas into real results! ❤️

I’ve seen firsthand the difference the Northwest Alabama Resource Conservation and Development Council (RC&D) can make. One reason I continue to appreciate RC&D is its commitment to local communities.

There’s nothing better than getting to say “thank you” in person!

Today, Kristin Conner, our Community & Corporate Sponsorship Director, had the opportunity to share more about the Witches Ride and Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library and to personally thank some of the people who helped make this work possible through the support of the Northwest RC&D Council.
