Open to the public, these events aren’t directly funded by the MSNHA but support our mission to promote cultural tourism in our six counties through education, preservation and conservation. Community events often are sponsored by MSNHA partners and other groups & people we work with.
One of MSNHA’s missions is to expand outdoor-recreation opportunities. We want everyone to discover & enjoy northwest Alabama’s natural beauty and learn to be good stewards of our waterways & land. MSNHA Recreation Events are those we directly facilitate.
