Girls Get Outdoors and Go to Camp
Girl Scouts of Southern Alabama
By sprucing up and adding some much needed tents to the camp, more girls will be able to attend summer camp and be provided the opportunity to disconnect and get outdoors. In addition, more groups and students from the area will be able to use the property throughout the year.
Baldwin County Historic Driving and Walking Tour App
The Gulf Coast RC&D Council provided $5,000 in grant funds to the Baldwin County Commission for the development of the Baldwin County Historic Walking & Driving Tour App. The app can be downloaded for free on any smartphone. The app is currently being developed into Phase III, adding more of Baldwin County's historic sites to the app.
Baldwin County Tillage Project - Phase 2
The addition of a second no-till drill to the district's inventory provides more opportunities for Baldwin County land owners to participate in conservation tillage; particularly those operators with smaller acreage and a small tractor. More conservation means less soil erosion and a reduction in nutrient and pathogen runoff to surface waters.
Fire Hydrant Expansion Program Phase 2 - White House Fork Volunteer Fire Department
Four additional fire hydrants were placed in underserved areas where six inch or greater water lines exist.
Fitness Equipment for Active Agers on Parkway
Community development project to provide the Parkway Senior Center with fitness equipment for the well-being of the seniors.
Vaughn Community Garden Project
Plasticulture Demonstration
The Gulf Coast RC&D Council believes that community gardens can be beneficial to the health and well-being of local communities. The introduction of a community garden may be able to reduce the impact of food availability and allow residents greater access to nutritious food that is necessary to live a healthy lifestyle.
The photos you see are from a plasticulture demonstration. Plasticulture is the use of plastics in crop protection. This method has helped farmers increase production, improve food quality, minimize water consumption and reduce their ecological footprint.
We have had the pleasure of working with Mr. Mitch Nye and the Vaughn Community as they work to get their community garden project up and running. Thank you for all of the hard work and time you have put into completing your project!
