Many thanks to State Representative Rolanda Hollis of Alabama House District 58 for her support of Ruffner Mountain and Jefferson County greenspaces!
Rep. Hollis chose Ruffner Mountain as an organization to support through the Jefferson County Community Service Fund. Her generous donation will provide our wildlife ambassadors with the food, enrichment, and enclosure maintenance that they need to live healthy lives. Rep. Hollis's support will ensure that our wildlife ambassadors can continue to educate District 58, along with all of Jefferson County's citizens, about Alabama's amazing ecosystem.
We would also like to commend Rep. Hollis for her efforts to fight for women's healthcare issues in the State of Alabama with the passing of HB230 - which prohibits practices regarding the treatment of pregnant female inmates or female inmates in the postpartum period, and HB250 which requires Schools K-12, and local boards of education to provide feminine hygiene products in women's restrooms of certain schools, at no cost to students.
