Recently, Camp ASCCA received a donation of video tapes for our environmental program. The Emmy nominated Discovering Alabama series was graciously donated by Phillip Jones.
| The Discovering Alabama series was created in 1985 by Dr. Doug Phillips. Acting as both host and producer, Dr. Phillips has an extensive knowledge of Alabama’s natural resources, as well as a personal commitment to conservation and education. With over 60 videos produced, Discovering Alabama provides an educational experience that is locally relevant to almost every student within the state. Adding to their educational value, Discovering Alabama programs are correlated with the State Exit Exam and with the Alabama Courses of Study. |  |

Several of the tapes highlight the many rivers and abundant wildlife that make Alabama both beautiful and unique. We watched one of these videos entitled “Alabama Rivers” which focused on the quality of Alabama’s rivers and the environmental threats they face. This video also contained commentary from Alabama native and world renowned ecologist Dr. E.O. Wilson of Harvard University. These tapes are very informative and we plan to integrate their content into our environmental program.
