On the fourth Saturday of every April, Rails to Trails Conservancy (RTC) invites everyone to get outside for Celebrate Trails Day, a springtime celebration of America’s trails and trail networks.
Celebrate Trails Day is more than a day outside. It’s an opportunity to grow awareness and appreciation for all the ways that trails make a difference for people, places, and the planet every day, so we can build more support to create, connect and maintain trails in every neighborhood in America. In 2024, the celebration falls on Saturday, April 27—and we hope you will join us! Since 2013, hundreds of organizations—trail managers, community groups, agencies, nonprofits, businesses, brands, clubs and beyond—have partnered with RTC on Celebrate Trails Day by planning events on trails and/or by encouraging their communities to participate. If you’re interested in learning more about Celebrate Trails Day, please register for this informational webinar. During the webinar, the speakers will provide an overview of Celebrate Trails Day; share ways to get involved; go over the tools and materials we’ll provide to help you plan, promote, and participate in the celebration; and answer any of your questions. We hope you will join us for the webinar and for Celebrate Trails Day!
This webinar qualifies as a Health, Safety, and Welfare (HSW) course (via LA CES).
