IN THE NEXT 30 YEARS, WE WILL:
Protect 30,000 additional acres of land throughout Central Alabama, conserving environmentally significant spaces in over 14 counties to reach our 50,000-acre milestone.
Complete the Red Rock Action Plan’s 36-mile connected trail loop around the greater Birmingham metro, boosting the Red Rock Trail System® to over 200 walkable and bikeable miles in Jefferson County.
Open six new publicly accessible properties across our region, doubling our existing ones and creating more landmark spaces facilitated by FLT, such as Red Mountain Park and Turkey Creek Nature Preserve.
Red Mountain Park
Freshwater Land Trust is an enthusiastic supporter of Red Mountain Park and its management. FLT is incredibly proud of having played an integral role in creating Red Mountain Park, in partnership with U.S. Steel and a slew of major funders.
In April 2025, FLT opened its fifth public access property, Mardis Mill Falls, in Blount County. Progress continues to improve entry to the Locust Fork River, including upgrading access with parking, signage, and accessibility additions.
The Red Rock Action Plan, released in 2023, is a 15-year strategic plan to develop 19-miles of new trails, ultimately creating a 36-mile loop around the Greater Birmingham Metropolitan Area. The plan identifies seven priority projects, that when combined with existing Red Rock Trails, will connect the Cities of Birmingham, Fairfield, Homewood, Irondale, Midfield, and Mountain Brook.
In 2026, FLT added prescribed fire to its stewardship plan. Burns have been completed at two conservation properties: Five Mile Creek CU1 and Mardis Mill Falls.
