Friends of Baldwin Our Vision "Friends of Baldwin" recognizes the exceptional beauty of Baldwin County which encompasses the Gulf beaches, scenic bays, river systems and green farm and timber lands. We share a responsibility to preserve the beauty, health and economic value of a unique area which has undergone and is threatened by additional rapid development. The great majority of the citizens of Baldwin County want to preserve our scenic beauty and quality of life, and because alone we have limited power, we want to stand together across the county to preserve our priceless heritage.
