To be a leader in providing science-based environmental information, education, and training, while cultivating a legacy of environmental stewardship in Alabama for generations to come
Legacy was created in 1992 by a group of individuals dedicated to providing quality, fact-based environmental education materials to the citizens of Alabama. Today, the organization brings together state and federal agencies, businesses, environmental groups, associations, and concerned citizens to provide comprehensive environmental education programs without duplicating efforts of other organizations.
Legacy’s goal is to operate as a true partnership of all groups interested in environmental education, to develop and provide balanced environmental education programs, and to prevent duplication of effort by supporting existing quality environmental education programs. Revenue for Legacy’s environmental education programs comes primarily from the sale of Alabama’s “Protect Our Environment” license tag. Other money comes from the partnership program, donations, corporate sponsors, in-kind donations, grants, and special events.
Legacy’s environmental education programs are developed and implemented by Legacy committees. Each committee works to ensure that Legacy’s programs are balanced and fact-based. Volunteerism through committee service is a great way to get involved at a grassroots level.
