Fresh Air Family

I am here for Friends

About Me

Fresh Air Family takes fun outdoors! We explore nature in the most beautiful and magical places with the experts who can help us find things that few people ever see: a rare bird, fish, plant, fossil or animal. We uncover the mysteries of nature in nature itself. We bring together a diverse group of individuals and families of all ages and sizes.

We are a grassroots, kid-driven (70% of the board are children) organization dedicated to environmental and scientific education, leadership, outdoor exploration, healthy lifestyles and healthy families, and an appreciation of the beautiful and biodiverse state of Alabama.

Our mission:
To teach that every living thing deserves respect. To connect with nature. To build families and future leaders. To build pride in Alabama and our natural wealth.

My Interests

hiking, backpacking, camping, canoeing, biking, nature, wildlife, plantlife, environmentalism, healthy living

I'd like to meet:

Can you hike up a mountain, canoe down a cool stream, or spot a tiny blue speck way up in a tree? Or would you like to try? Then come hiking, biking, canoeing, bird watching and just exploring wild Alabama with us. You can look for frogs, stink bugs, slimy salamanders, or if you prefer, flowers, baby bald eagles and fuzzy wild rabbits.

Fresh Air Family is a free membership program offering free or very low-cost events. You are invited to join us as we meet adventure!
