Sweet Trails Alabama, in conjunction with the Singing River Trail and Jacksonville State University, will be taking a statewide public tour next week.
The Sweet Trails Alabama Swing Around the State Tour will start Monday in Huntsville and Florence and kick off a year-long initiative to identify trails and locate possible new routes in all 67 counties in Alabama.
Sweet Trails Alabama is a collaborative initiative that will identify local, regional, and statewide trail projects. The statewide trail route plan will identify possible routes, trail communities, outdoor recreation economy sites, and highlight how the Sweet Trails Alabama project can create new opportunities in health and wellness, tourism, economic development, entrepreneurial growth, quality of life, workforce development, community engagement, and natural resource conservation.
The five-day, nine-stop tour will visit Huntsville, Florence, Tuscaloosa, Selma, Atmore, Dothan, Montgomery, Birmingham, and Jacksonville.
Throughout the tour, Sweet Trails Alabama representatives and guest speakers will share their vision for strengthening community bonds and creating opportunities throughout Alabama. The day, time, and place of each public meeting, and a link to RSVP is here.
The Sweet Trails Alabama Swing Around the State Tour is open to the public and made possible by the Alabama Association of Resource Conservation and Development councils. These nine Alabama RC&D councils are made up of volunteers who identify the needs in their communities and create solutions across Alabama.
