What We Do

Development Assistance

Yellowhammer Outdoor Development provides the expertise, access to funding, and technical support that enable outdoor recreation projects in Alabama communities. We guide communities through the complex process of turning outdoor recreation visions into reality—providing specialized planning, grant writing, and project coordination that most small towns can’t access on their own. All services are provided at no cost to communities, funded through state appropriations and foundation support. We assist communities with:

Community Engagement & Assessment

Facilitating the conversations and systematic evaluations that establish realistic project foundations

Master Planning & Design

Creating comprehensive recreation plans that transform ideas into fundable projects

Funding Strategy & Development

Writing grant applications and securing the funding that makes projects possible (85% success rate)

Implementation & Project Management

Providing oversight and coordination that keeps construction on track and compliant

Sustainability & Capacity Building

Equipping communities with the knowledge and systems needed for long-term success
