Nature Valley and the American Hiking Society have announced 20 nonprofit organizations around the country have been named finalists for Save the Trails funding. Save the Trails, in cooperation with the American Hiking Society National Trails Fund, will award $5,000 to each of the top 10 finalists, based on online votes, to restore and revitalize hiking trails in their communities.
The 20 finalists were selected from a competitive pool of 160 organizations that span the nation.
“Were grateful to be working with American Hiking Society and excited to see how the National Trails Fund is piquing interest in our countrys local hiking trails,” said Martin Abrams, Nature Valley marketing.
With more than 200,000 miles of trails in the United States, the National Trails Fund is the only national private grants program that helps trail-maintaining organizations build and improve hiking trails and galvanize volunteers to ensure long-term trail sustainability.
