Bureau Of Land Management Acquires Fowl River Access Site

MOBILE COUNTY, Ala. — The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) recently acquired the Fowl River Access Site, 5.1 acres that opens access to more than 40 acres of public land and 300 river miles along the Fowl River in Mobile, and celebrated with a ribbon-cutting ceremony this week. The Fowl River Access Site is located on Rebel Road in Theodore, one quarter mile north of the Delchamps Road intersection. The property was purchased through the Land and Water Conservation Fund. The BLM partnered with The Trust for Public Land on the acquisition, with the shared goal to provide public access to the adjoining BLM-managed lands in Mobile County. This project supports the federal government’s America the Beautiful initiative, a decade-long challenge to pursue locally led and voluntary efforts nationwide to conserve 30% of the nation’s lands and waters by 2030. The initiative centers on collaborative conservation, expanding access to public lands, and making outdoor recreation accessible. The BLM encourages responsible recreation on public lands.
