The heavy rains yesterday did not dampen the enthusiasm of our local, state, and federal partners who came to see our efforts to revitalize Village Creek! It was a great day. We started in Ensley, and then we traveled upstream to the Norwood community. Then, over a great barbeque lunch at McWane, the partners’ learned about the new Greenwood Park along Village Creek. After lunch, we visited Roebuck Springs where Dr. Mike Howell gave everyone an update on the watercress darter. The day ended at the Eastern Health Center. See the following link from the Birmingham News for some great (and wet) photos: http://photos.al.com/4461/galleries/index.html
We really appreciate everyone’s enthusiasm, feedback, and ideas on the Champions for Village Creek Greenway’s efforts along Village Creek. Keep ‘em coming!
