Dirt Pass Progam

Promoters of Alabama state parks are hoping residents make donations through the new "Dirt Pass" program.  Park-goers and trail users can purchase a Dirt Pass and sport a rubber wristband that acts as a donation toward the improvement and management of the state's trail systems.  It's a way for park visitors to voluntarily fund revitalization projects.  The Dirt pass can be purchased at ten of the state's parks including Cheaha, Chewacla, DeSoto, and Wind Creek.  The Dirt Pass, at an annual cost of $35, identifies the wearer as a Parks Trails Partner and supporter of the Alabama State Parks and trails program.  The cost has been discounted to $25 for this year only.
