Fun and fundraising—A "Float Your Boat" public fundraising event was held Saturday, July 17, at the Turkey Creek Nature Preserve in Pinson. Birmingham-Southern and the college's Southern Environmental Center, through a partnership with Freshwater Land Trust and Alabama State Lands, manage the preserve. More than 170 boats were sold that day and then raced down the creek. Funds raised at the event will be used to benefit the preserve's educational center and the programs it provides. The city of Pinson co-sponsored this first annual event and provided free ice cream and popsicles. Boat race prizes were provided by Ace Hardware in Trussville, Home Depot, Academy Sports and Outdoors, and Ken's Hickory Pit Barbeque. Among the BSC students at the preserve that day (pictured above) were senior urban environmental studies major Samantha Horsley and senior psychology major Ameet Bosmia, who worked as an intern at the preserve this summer.
