Discover the Gulf Coast Nature Expo
Mark your calendars for an event that celebrates the beauty and wonder of coastal Alabama—the Gulf Coast Nature Expo, happening Saturday, October 4, from 9 AM to 2 PM at Weeks Bay Plantation. Hosted by the South Alabama Land Trust (SALT), this free, family-friendly festival brings together people of all ages to explore the outdoors, connect with local organizations, and experience the natural world in new and exciting ways.
