Go Build Alabama – Alabama Construction Recruitment Institute
September 7, 2010 by Admin
Filed under Featured, Newsletter
Created by the Alabama Construction Recruitment Institute, the Go Build campaign is designed to educate young people on the value of learning a trade, dispel their misconceptions about the construction industry and inspire them to consider building a career as a skilled construction tradesman. Through this advertising, public relations and social media campaign, ACRI aims to provide better opportunities for construction tradesmen, more highly skilled employees for construction businesses and enhanced economic development for Alabama and the nation.
Faced with a growing shortage of skilled construction craftsmen and an aging construction labor workforce, the Alabama Legislature established ACRI in 2009. The institute is working to educate young people, parents, educators and others about the opportunities offered by the construction industry. ACRI’s partners include Alabama AFL-CIO, the Associated Builders and Contractors of Alabama, Alabama Associated General Contractors, Inc., Alabama Road Builders Association, the American Subcontractors Association, the Alabama Construction Trade Unions, the Alabama College System, the Alabama Construction Users Roundtable and construction business owners throughout the state.

Piedmont Plateau Birding Trail Coming to Clay County

Piedmont Plateau Birding Trail
The PPBT mascot is the Great Horned Owl (Bubo virginianus).
This majestic owl will grace our directional signs, interpretive panels, brochures and all printed materials. Its distinctive silhouette will easily announce our trail and sidebar locations. Each portion of the Alabama Birding Trails has its own mascot to differentiate it from the other seven trails. All mascot signs will be similar to create a consistent presentation.
The Clay County Chamber of Commerce is assisting the Alabama Tourism Department and the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources to complete a state-wide system of birding trails. Four trails already exist. The Piedmont Plateau Birding Trail (PPBT) is one of the remaining four that will complete the Alabama Birding Trail system.
Clay County is working toward launching its PPBT Trails in the Fall of 2011. There are 5 sites approved for Clay County: Ashland Park, Lineville Park, Clay County Lake, Lake Chinbee and Ashland/Lineville Water Shed. We’re still working on funding from the county and cities.
The PPBT consists of the following nine counties: Autauga, Chambers, Chilton, Clay, Coosa, Elmore, Lee, Randolph and Tallapoosa. Each of these counties has tremendous tourism ‘assets’ that will provide a multitude of experiences for visitors, not the least of which is the immense bird population the state is privileged to have.  The secret to a successful birding trail is having the proper habitat for the numerous species of birds that call Alabama home. We are also a favorite on the migratory pathways during the Spring and Fall. Alabama is fortunate in that we have the most diverse habitat in the Southeast, from the Appalachian Mountains to the Gulf coast and everything in-between, with the Piedmont Plateau Birding Trail in the center. Add the extra special side trips on the trail and your complete birding adventure is sure to please.
A 2006 survey by the United States Fish & Wildlife Service (USF&W) shows that 48 million people participated in bird watching and spent $35 billion to do it. This includes motels, food, shopping, gasoline and all that is needed to sustain you when you visit birding locations. It can also include canoe/kayak rentals for the incredible floating bird-watching.
