Think about your favorite trail.

The one you return to every year. The one you hike with your friends and family. The one where you know exactly where the views open up, where the wildflowers bloom, or where you stop for a snack break.

Now imagine that trail changing forever.

The Forest Service is proposing changes to the Travel Management Rule that could open trails to motorized use unless they are explicitly closed — and a repeal of the Roadless Rule that could put nearly 45 million acres of undeveloped National Forest land at risk.

This is your opportunity to tell decision-makers why the places you hike matter.

Submit comments on both proposals:
🏔️ Roadless Rule — by September 21
🥾 Travel Management Rule — by September 23

Share the trail you want to protect. Tell your story. Make your voice heard.

This summer, volunteers from all walks of life are lacing up their boots, heading into the backcountry, and getting to work caring for the trails and public lands they love.

It’s hard, sweaty work — but it’s meaningful work, too.

Through American Hiking Society’s Volunteer Vacations, dedicated volunteers spend a week giving back to the places that have given us so much. Together, they’re clearing trails, restoring landscapes, and helping ensure these special places can be enjoyed for generations to come.

This work is only possible because of supporters like you.

If you believe in caring for our public lands during the busiest outdoor season of the year, consider making a gift today.

Together, we’re making a real difference — one trail at a time. 🥾💚
