Part of preserving a healthy trail system is protecting the integrity of the natural environment. Through our commitment to creating high-quality trail experiences, the Trail Conference has become a regional leader in conserving both trail corridors and native habitat. Donations to our Ecological Stewardship are investments in protecting the land you love.
Where does my money go?
Donations to Ecological Stewardship Fund support our leading efforts to eradicate high-priority emerging invasives in the region including Invasives Strike Force surveyor programs, ISF removal crews and the Aquatic Invasives Strike Force. They fund our innovative Conservation Dogs program—the first of its kind in the Northeast. They also support our native habitat restoration efforts including our Habitat Helpers crew.
