With success lying in a well-established communications network, American Trails’ work helps address today’s critical issues: how to increase physical fitness and mental well-being, strengthen family ties, offer healthier lifestyle choices, and provide safe routes for active transportation. The health of our children, as well as our cities, will depend on preserving trails, open space, parks, transportation choices, and places for recreation.

Mission of American Trails

American Trails strives to enrich the quality of life for all people and the sustainable development of communities by advancing and promoting the development, preservation, and enjoyment of diverse, high quality trails and greenways.

Vision Statement

American Trails envisions a network of diverse, high quality trails for all people and a trail within 15 minutes of every home, school, and workplace. But without loyal supporters like you, the funding for these beneficial trails may be drastically reduced.
