Forever Wild Buys Jackson County Lands

In a Breaking News story published on AL.com, Steve Doyle reports Forever Wild buys land along Paint Rock River that's home to endangered species.

The state Forever Wild program on Tuesday bought 1,500 acres along Jackson County's upper Paint Rock River. The remote site near the Estillfork community includes the spot where Hurricane Creek and Estill Fork come together, forming the Paint Rock River. The river is home to several endangered fish and freshwater mussel species found almost nowhere else on the planet.
