Black Belt Bamboost

Northport, Alabama United States

Education

Black Belt Bamboost is a community-based project, through Friends of Historic Northport, Inc., designed to raise awareness about bamboo in Alabama. The diversity of this plant, and its associated applications, are providing a vast array of engagement opportunities to showcase, educate and connect people with bamboo. We aim to bring bamboo to our community in the form of a public bamboo park, a demonstration bamboo farming site, and an experimental bamboo build center. Through our efforts we will showcase how bamboo can change the lives of many, not just a few, improve our environment, and become an economic and creative benefit in our community, state, and nation as a whole.
