Freshwater Land Trust conserves, connects, and cares for land and water in Central Alabama, creating dynamic green spaces for future generations. In the simplest terms, we conserve land and build trails so that our communities are healthier and happier. Since 1996, we have worked to con­serve land that is crit­i­cal for the pro­tec­tion of rivers and that pro­vides recre­ational oppor­tu­ni­ties for local communities. We work in Bibb, Blount, Chilton, Jef­fer­son, Shelby, St. Clair, Walker, and Tuscaloosa coun­ties and are proud to partner with governments, corporations, landown­ers, and community groups to protect our natural environment and to increase public outdoor recre­ational oppor­tu­ni­ties. We are nation­ally accred­ited by the Land Trust Accred­i­ta­tion Com­mis­sion, meeting national stan­dards of excel­lence, upholding the pub­lic trust, and ensuring con­ser­va­tion efforts are permanent.
