256 Today is proud to present the Our Town Podcast. Check here every week for the latest episode from Troy Bye, North Alabama’s newest favorite son.
The Our Town Podcast showcases all that is good in North Alabama. Each week guests are invited from business, sports, entertainment, education, the arts, and so much more to discuss all aspects of living and working in The 256.
This week Troy chats with Ethan Woodruff, executive director of the North Alabama Zoological Society.
Some 3 1/2 years ago, Ethan Woodruff asked himself a simple question, “Why doesn’t North Alabama have a zoo?”
In this episode you will gain an appreciation for how supportive the North Alabama region has been in responding to Ethan’s question as he has worked to create the North Alabama Zoological Society, which now has almost 70 volunteers.
Ethan and his team are working tirelessly toward bringing a key piece of economic development to our region.
I hope you will enjoy this episode as much as I did in hearing about Ethan’s journey and the many benefits that a zoo will provide to Our Town!
