Sipsey

I love the Sipsey Wilderness and have learned so much through this podcast about the rich history of the forest and the people who fought for the land.

If you have a love for the wilderness too, this podcast is a great listen.

The Fight for Alabama's Wild Places has made me grateful to these people who have saved the Sipsey Wilderness. Thank you Green Bucket Press for this gift.

Very informative!

There are many great stories from several people's experiences in Bankhead. This series provides information on how the forest service activities could have destroyed the wilderness and the group of people fighting to protect the sipsey wilderness as we know and enjoy today. Thanks to everyone getting this story out.
