One of the goals of the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (ADCNR) is to not only manage and conserve our abundant natural wonders but to also share Alabama’s great outdoors with everyone.

The R3 Program of ADCNR’s Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries (WFF) Division is a significant part of outreach efforts to get Alabama’s citizens and guests outside, enjoying the many outdoors recreational opportunities in our beautiful state. R3 Coordinator Justin Grider and his team want to share the message of the benefits of getting outdoors with those who have little or limited exposure, those who are urged to continue their outdoors activities, and those who once participated but need encouragement to start again.
