| Judson's Earth Team received a grant
award from the West Alabama Sierra Club to build a bridge across a creek on
Ridge Trail. Students learned a lot about tools, concrete and lumber on this
project. The bridge will allow visitors to venture onto an unexplored part of
the Park. Sarah Fowler positions a post while Beverly Cox eyeballs the level.
