Alabama State Parks' Lein Retiring, Capps Promoted

The path that Greg Lein and Matthew Capps shared with the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources’ (ADCNR) State Parks Division is now diverging. Lein, the State Parks Director for the past 12 years is retiring, and Matthew Capps, former Deputy Director, has been promoted to State Parks Director. While preparing for the National Association of State Parks Directors Conference that is being held at Gulf State Park this week, Lein shared his vision of State Parks when he became director in 2012, and Capps shared his vision of the future of State Parks.
