Silver Spring, MD \u2013<\/strong>  The nationwide celebration of National Trails Day\u00ae<\/sup> on Saturday June 1, 2024 will bring together people from across the country, Puerto Rico, and beyond, to celebrate, enjoy, and give back to the trails. American Hiking Society\u2019s National Trails Day\u00ae<\/sup><\/a>, is an annual event ai<\/strong>med at advocacy, trail service, and encouraging local communities to connect in the outdoors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trail users, including hikers, cyclists, horseback riders, paddlers, trail clubs, federal and local agencies, and various organizations, unite on National Trails Day\u00ae to improve the trails and outdoor community. This is accomplished through collective efforts toward advocating for, maintaining, cleaning up, and celebrating trails and nature. By working together, this diverse coalition can ensure that these outdoor spaces remain accessible, safe, and enjoyable for everyone now and in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

National Trails Day\u00ae is an event that people of all ages, abilities, and lifestyles can celebrate by participating in a local trail event<\/a>. Participants can also take the National Trails Day\u00ae pledge<\/a> to commit to leaving the trails and the outdoor community better than they found them. Additionally, individuals can share their trail experience by tagging #NationalTrailsDay and @AmericanHiking on social media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last year, more than 700 sites across the U.S. brought people together for various recreational and volunteer opportunities. More than 7,044 trail volunteers built and maintained more than 558 miles of trails as part of the festivities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“National Trails Day\u00ae provides a unique opportunity to bring community members of all walks of life together in the outdoors, all with a common goal of enjoying nature and preserving it,” said Heather Klein Olson, Executive Director of American Hiking Society. “This is our 32nd annual celebration of National Trails Day\u00ae, and it’s incredible to see how the trails unite us and remind us of the power of our collective action and passion. Spending time on the trails offers us time to reflect on nature’s positive impact on our physical and mental well-being and the positive impact we can have on it, too. This annual event reminds us to appreciate the beauty of the great outdoors and commit to doing our part to protect it for generations to come.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
