In January 2018, we launched our Adopt-a-Trail program, a volunteer initiative supporting Red Rock Trail System. Volunteer groups take care of their adopted trail by removing litter, raking leaves, pruning and weeding, and performing other light maintenance tasks. Groups also have the opportunity to lead beautification, art, or planting projects.

Adopting a trail is a fantastic way to make Birmingham a cleaner, greener, more beautiful place. As a volunteer, you serve as an ambassador for your community’s existing and future trails. Plus — your group has a regular excuse to spend time together outside in the fresh air and sunshine!

Freshwater Land Trust provides volunteers with training, work supplies, and ongoing support.
