It's Time to Vote...for Trails
The election is still a month away, but it's already time to vote, for trails that is. Twenty finalists have been selected for the American Hiking Society and Nature Valley's Save the Trails grants.
Visit www.wheresyours.com in October and cast a vote for your favorite trail project. Help extend a loop trail in Hawaii. Supply the Lulu Lake Land Trust in Georgia with maps, signage and trailhead gates. Introduce recreational walking and hiking to an impoverished New Mexico community. Restore legal public access to Wilson's peak in Colorado. These are just a handful of the projects that you can make a reality. AHS and Nature Valley will grant $5,000 each to ten finalists.
The 16 winning projects for the American Hiking Society's 2008 National Trails Fund have already been named and are listed at www.americanhiking.org/NTFReceipients.aspx?id=5
