Clean Trails Make Happier Hikers.
Join up with others…
…and make clean trails happen while you’re enjoying nature.
WHY THESE ARTICLES ARE IMPORTANT:
Besides the irritation of seeing garbage and single-use plastics tossed carelessly away along beautiful, scenic trails, there’s another reason to keep our trails clean. Most items discarded will take many, many years to degrade—and it affects wildlife habitat and health.
These articles will show you what you can do and who you can join with to clean up and better enjoy your favorite trails.
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:
Groups of concerned hikers are everywhere, and you can find those in your area or who love your favorite outdoor pathways and join up with them. Do a little online searching and you’ll see that you’re surrounded by others who care as much as you do about clean trails.
COMMENT:
When it comes to trail clean-up, don’t go it alone. Joining with existing groups or starting a trail clean-up collaborative of your own, you will get more accomplished and also enjoy great camaraderie with like-minded people. Maybe even make some new friends for life.
Consider making your next hikes that much more meaningful.
