Thanks for visiting the Environmental Policy and Information Center web site. Let it be your base of information for environmental protection, outdoor education and adventure in northeast Alabama.

EPIC strives to implement environmental, cultural and heritage-based protection that fosters both economic development and growth. We believe our economy will strengthen through the promotion of smart growth and other positive forces, like environmental protection, tourism and sustainability. Our work has led to the federal designations of places like the Little River Canyon National Preserve, the Dugger Mountain Wilderness, and the Mountain Longleaf National Wildlife Refuge.

Web links at the left of the page will send you to other projects undertaken and led by EPIC but if you have any questions, comments or ideas, please contact us or drop by and visit. Our contact information is listed below. Visit our site often to keep up with the latest at EPIC.
