Wild Trails Memberships
Unlike many other non-profit organizations, Wild Trails has something more to offer than a thank you note. The mission of Wild Trails, a 501(c)(3) non profit, is to encourage and promote healthy and active lifestyles through trail running and other forms of outdoor recreation and to advocate the protection and preservation of land (natural spaces) used for such activities. Your tax deductible donation will continue to allow Wild Trails to improve, protect and expand our nature trails as well as direct programs to empower our citizens and visitors to use them.
