What is a Trail Angel?

Everyone deserves the freedom to explore the outdoors. Yet for many communities, systemic barriers make nature feel out of reach. When you become a Trail Angel, you help create access, belonging, and equity in outdoor spaces. Inspired by the “trail magic” that supports long-distance hikers, Trail Angels offer acts of kindness that help others on their journey. Your support helps provide:

  • Transportation to outdoor programs and adventures
  • Snacks and shared meals in community
  • Skill-building, resources, and encouragement

Whether you give monthly, volunteer, or advocate alongside us, you’re helping create a world where everyone can experience the healing, joy, and connection of time spent outside.
