Thanks for visiting the EPIC 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 protection that fosters economic development and growth. We believe our economy will strengthen through the promotion of smart growth and other positive forces, like heritage and eco-tourism. Our work has led to the federal designations and great places to visit, like the Little River Canyon National Preserve, the Dugger Mountain Wilderness, and the Mountain Longleaf National Wildlife Refuge.
