Land Trust secures funding for new Tollgate Greenway

After months of fundraising, the Land Trust of North Alabama has raised enough money to move forward with the Tollgate Greenway project at Monte Sano.

The Land Trust raised $500,000, and with an additional $500,000 coming from the City of Huntsville, the project can now come to fruition.

The project includes a paved, multi-use greenway that will provide pedestrians and bikers a safe, scenic route to travel while also offering access to nature for people who cannot utilize the Land Trust’s natural trails.

The project aims to:

Expand outdoor access for hikers, walkers, cyclists, and those with mobility limitations
Provide cyclists a safe route on the mountain
Improve off-road parking for safer traffic flow
Create education opportunities that highlight the history and ecology of the area
Establish a seamless, paved connection from Bankhead Trailhead to Monte Sano State Park
