RUSTIC GUIDE TO FOREVER WILD PROPERTIES NOW AVAILABLE

Since 1992, Alabama's Forever Wild Land Trust has purchased natural land from willing sellers across the state for conservation and outdoor recreation.  No funding for the program comes from taxes. The Forever Wild Program is funded by earnings on fees paid to the state by natural gas companies that drill off Alabama's coast.  The program has acquired wonderful natural areas across the state, including the Walls of Jericho, Turkey Creek Falls, large portions of the Mobile-Tensaw Delta. It has also added to existing conservation areas such as Monte Sano State Park and Weeks Bay National Estuarine Reserve.  What you see here began as part of the Birmingham Audubon Society's grassroots support for Forever Wild's re-authorization but now may become a living, breathing document that grows with Forever Wild. The land trust program was overwhelmingly re-affirmed by the voters in November, and we look forward to adding to this guide as the state continues faithfully buying the most precious land in Alabama for 20 more years.

The Rustic Guide to Forever Wild properties is intended to be a supplement to the information found on the official Forever Wild Land Trust Web site.  The guide is done in rustic format, which emphasizes providing lots of information and directions regarding the Forever Wild properties, but it does not emphasize pictures or maps, because those are available on the official Forever Wild Land Trust Web site.  The guide contains numerous links to that information on the official Forever Wild Land Trust web site. We hope this guide will help you to enjoy the outdoors and appreciate the value of the Forever Wild Land Trust. Thank you for voting with us to extend the life of Forever Wild.
