Cheaha Wilderness
The Cheaha Wilderness (Talladega National Forest), best known for its elevated terrain and panoramic overlooks, includes a section of Alabama’s longest walking path - the Pinhoti National Recreation Trail. Volunteers actively maintain the historic Pinhoti Trail and scenic overlooks, continuously work to mitigate visitor impact, and provide important public wilderness education and trail monitoring services. |
Sipsey Wilderness
The Sipsey Wilderness (Bankhead National Forest) is characterized by large sandstone bluffs and the jade-hued water of the Sipsey River, making it home to some of the most picturesque natural features in Alabama. Volunteers maintain trails, clean up trash, and remove tenacious invasive plants. Despite the growing number of visitors to this beautiful wilderness, volunteer wilderness rangers are successfully demonstrating that visitor education leads to reduced visitor impact and increased safety. |
