NEW feature to Red Mountain Park−the Speaker’s Bureau.

July 30th, 2010

Houston, we have a problem.  But it’s a great problem to have, especially since we now have a fantastic solution.

We are happy to say that we have had so many requests for presentations about the park that we felt the need to build a group that would conquer some of those speaking engagements.  Where’s the very first place we looked to find the some of the  people who can talk about Red Mountain Park the best?  The Friends of Red Mountain Park.  We took some of the Friends that knew the park the best and then trained them further on all of the content of our community presentations so that they would be fully equipped to speak to any group.  It is a lively bunch with great park perspective and a great ability to spread the Red Mountain Park fever.

How can you be one of the first groups or organizations to utilize the Red Mountain Park Speaker’s Bureau?  Just give us a call at our office (254.1909) or email us at: contact@redmountainpark.org.  We will set your group up with a speaker that will tailor the park presentation to your time and needs.  Happy Bureau-ing!

weekend full of eagles.

June 14th, 2010

My Saturday was spent helping in 3 Eagle Scout Projects on the park.  I was so impressed with the work put forth by each of these soon-to-be eagles.  Check out their impressive work below: a bridge demolition at the No. 13 site, a bridge being built on the Redding trail, and a park video project…

3 Parks, 3 Directors, 1 hike to celebrate our progress….

It feels good to be part of Birmingham’s 3 Parks Initiative, and even better to share the charge of building and growing these places with people like Katherine and Robbie.  We had some fun together on Friday out at the park, see the photo below.
Congratulations to Ruffner for their beautiful facilities and to Railroad Park as they near completion–Birmingham has much to be excited about…

Me, Katherine Billmeier from RRP, & Robbie Fearn from Ruffner
