The Dugger Mountain Wilderness (Talladega National Forest), Alabama’s newest wilderness area, was established to restore natural ecological conditions in the area, and is characterized by rugged, mountainous terrain, with plentiful opportunity for recreation and solitude. Dugger contains a section of the Pinhoti National Recreation Trail. Volunteers provide critical trail maintenance support in order to restore and preserve the natural ecology of the area, provide improved habitats for imperiled species, and retain Dugger Mountain’s rugged character.

​Wild Alabama stewards this wilderness through trail maintenance, Wilderness Stewardship Performance projects, Wilderness character monitoring, and Forest Ambassadors.
