Rotary Trail

This multi-million dollar gift to Birmingham and its citizens on behalf of Rotary transformed a vacant railroad right-of-way, or “cut,” into a pleasantly-landscaped, four-block walking/running/biking pathway. In 2015, the Rotary Trail was awarded a Governor’s Award for Water Conservationist of the Year – in other words, the best water conservation effort in Alabama.
