Ruffner Mountain is unlike any other hiking experience in the city of Birmingham.

Additionally, visitors have the option of becoming members which helps support the center and all of its several restoration and biodiversity projects including its habitat gardens for native plant species, mine shaft and bat habitat research, and the longleaf pine trees reforestation project.
