Training, Outreach & Education

Training Element

Not only does the Trail Conference build and protect trails, we also maintain and share the most accurate, up-to-date trail maps, guides, and resources. When you donate to our Training, Outreach & Education programs, you are ensuring that everyday trail users have the tools and education they need to use trails responsibly and sustainably.

Where does my money go?
Gifts to the Training, Outreach & Education Fund have supported our Trail Steward program and Leave No Trace outreach. Our Stewards have been bringing face-to-face user education and sustainable, on-the-ground solutions to some of the region’s most popular outdoor destinations since 2013. These funds enable us to produce and distribute our maps, trailhead signage, and our quarterly newsletter, Trail Walker. They support various trainings and certifications for our volunteers and staff.

Gifts to the dedicated Welch Trail Education Center Fund have a direct impact on helping us restore our group camp in Harriman State Park as a modern environmental training center. Learn more about the Welch Trail Education Center Fund by contacting Director of Donor Advising Don Weise.
