Little Cahaba River

We care a lot about the big river, but we love our tributaries too. What's your favorite?

In this, the final week of 2023, Freshwater Land Trust added 86 acres to our land conservation footprint with the closing of a property on Turkey Creek in Pinson. This parcel completes “phase two” of the existing LaRocca CE, a 92-acre property placed in a conservation easement with FLT back in 2021. With this addition, this CE now protects 178 acres of mixed hardwood and pine forest bordering Turkey Creek.

I do not see the Little Cahaba River, AL, on this list. What’s wrong with this picture?

Our Swim Guide program gives EVERYONE access to vital information to make informed decisions about where to recreate on the Cahaba River. In our first year of monitoring, we collected 36 bacteria samples. In our 9th year, we collected 512. That wouldn’t be possible without our sponsors, community partners, and most importantly, the interns who give their time and energy to collect the samples.


Please join us in thanking our Swim Guide interns of 2022: Jenesis Morgan, Jaiden Hatch, Natalie Watts, Donovahn Wyatt, Maria Timberlake, Lucas Geurs, Caitlin Holt, Marlana Harwood, Brad Randazzo, MaryClare Gabel, and Helen Parris for their hard work in collecting data for YOUR water quality information!
