Take Action
Speak up for America’s trails
At The Trust for Public Land, we envision a future where every community has equitable access to nature. Across the country, local trails connect people to nature, recreation, schools, workplaces, and their broader neighborhood.
That’s why, with your advocacy, we are working tirelessly to plan, design, and create trails across the country. With careful planning and local collaboration, we will establish new trails in 50 communities by 2025, creating or connecting 1,000 miles of trails and greenways.
While much of this vital work is happening in communities across the country, some of it is also taking place in Washington, D.C. Congress is considering three bills that will expand our country’s trails and access to nature — the Bonneville Shoreline Trail Advancement Act (S.1222/H.R.2551), the Continental Divide Trail Completion Act (H.R.5118), and the Transportation Alternatives Enhancement Act (H.R.463).
You can help connect people to nature and to each other: transform the future of our trails by sending a letter to your members of Congress today in support of these three bills!
