Rotary & Rotaract Team up for a Rotary Trail Service Day
Members of the Rotary Club of Birmingham (RCB) and Rotaract Club of Birmingham gathered with family, friends and community members for the annual Rotary Trail Service Day on Sunday, April 13, 2025. Volunteers worked to spread mulch, remove litter, pull weeds and prepare the trail for spring, when warmer weather brings thousands of visitors each week to walk, run, bike and ride scooters along the trail.
Rotary Trail is RCB’s centennial gift to the Birmingham community. Completed in 2013, the 3.5-million-dollar project transformed a blighted abandoned railroad cut into a landscaped, four-block walking/running/biking pathway that connects Railroad Park and Sloss Furnaces National Historic Landmark along First Avenue South as an anchor element of the Jefferson County Redrock Trail System. The RCB Foundation supports the ongoing maintenance and upkeep of Rotary Trail to provide the mulch, pine straw, new plants, sprinkler repairs and other landscape services needed, in partnership with Blackjack Horticulture, to help keep Rotary Trail in top shape.
