The Elizabeth Levers Award for Engagement and Inclusivity
Honors those volunteers who go above and beyond to bring people into the Trail Conference family and have been strong advocates for ensuring our trails and natural areas are an inclusive environment for everyone to have the opportunity to connect with nature. They embody our value that the joys of nature belong to everyone.
Elizabeth Levers was the Trail Conference President from 1970 – 1972. She engaged numerous youth, including organizing 30 Eagle Scout projects. She was determined to bring as many people into the fold as possible because, as she stated, "You need an ongoing belief in this kind of thing to keep the trails alive."
