What is Forever Wild?
Forever Wild has helped protect land for almost 20 years without taxing Alabamians. Instead, the program is funded by interest earned from Gulf oil and gas leases.
Members of the Forever Wild board use these funds to purchase lands that are deemed good candidates for the program. They may only purchase from willing sellers, and they must offer a fair market price. Once the land is purchased, it is preserved and protected forever.
From the Mobile-Tensaw Delta to Turkey Creek to the “Walls of Jericho,” Forever Wild has done great things for our state.
The program has protected countless plants and wildlife crucial to our ecosystem and expanded the public's access to land, providing even more recreational opportunities in a state already known for its beautiful outdoors.
But there’s still a lot of work to be done. Alabama lags behind its southeastern counterparts in land conservation.
We owe it to ourselves and to our children to continue preserving some of God’s greatest natural wonders.
