Endless hours of outdoor fun at AWF

Alabama Wildlife Federation hosts year-round educational programs for children to play in the dirt, learn about animals and explore the outdoors. During the summer months, those monthly activities remain, along with the addition of summer camp and season-specific events.

AWF kicks off the fun with its annual Plants and Pollinators Festival on May 18. The purpose is to draw attention to the growing importance of pollinator conservation, both statewide and worldwide. From 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., there will be live demonstrations of honey extraction from resident beehives, along with the sale of local Lanark honey bottled fresh. Festival day will include plant and gardening presentations, as well as a plant sale.
