Alabama State Parks has launched a new way for park enthusiasts to promote the 21 state parks by providing photos, video and more to be featured on social media platforms.

The Alabama State Parks Ambassador Program is designed to attract park regulars, hikers, bikers, photographers and adventure lovers of all kinds who want to showcase the state’s natural beauty and inspire others to visit the parks.

“We are blessed to have so many people who truly love our state parks, and we frequently hear visitors ask how they can help people get to know the parks. The new Alabama State Parks Ambassador Program is a tangible and unique way that our top supporters can help share the parks, inspire others to enjoy the great outdoors, and showcase the wide variety of activities and experiences available in our State Parks system.”

Matthew Capps, Alabama State Parks Director

Selected Ambassadors will be invited to document their experiences at the parks through photos and videos, which will be featured on Alabama State Parks social media platforms and other promotions. Ambassadors can document experiences including:

  • Hiking trails
  • Lodge views
  • Camping
  • Glamping
  • Biking

You’ll be asked to provide at least four photos and/or videos per month. Ambassadors will receive special merchandise and state parks commemorative items.

Anyone interested can submit an online application to become an Alabama State Parks Ambassador. The program is free, but space is limited.

“We have a lot of visitors to our parks who rave about their favorite spot or they love telling their friends and neighbors about a ‘hidden gem’ in a park. This program allows our Alabama State Park Ambassadors to highlight those places and experiences for the world.”

Matthew Capps, Alabama State Parks Director
