walkable neighborhoods and sustainable development. “Pepper Place is at the heart of this
expanding green space that is connecting our urban neighborhoods. It is wonderful watching the
business community, residents and farmers market patrons coming to Pepper Place on foot and
bike”, she says, “and, we are so pleased that Alabama Outdoors will be here to reach out to our
growing city center / Lakeview population; a group that embraces this connection to the
environment.”

usage, conservation, access and education, and is excited to further its local outreach by joining
the Pepper Place community. “Being a part of Pepper Place is a wonderful opportunity,” says
Kristy Ward, Director of Operations at Alabama Outdoors, “and we’re excited to be able to
connect with our downtown community in a unique, local atmosphere such as the farmers
market.”
