Advocacy
Advocating on behalf of Vermont’s broad network of trail owners and managers
Our small-but-mighty state boasts nearly 8,000 miles of public and privately-owned trails. This vast network reflects the efforts and resources of a broad range of trail owners and managers. What do they all have in common? A need for skills, training, and funding to cultivate climate-resilient trails that support communities, economies, the environment, and health & well-being.
