National Trails Day® is a powerful call to action for all outdoor lovers to give back to the places that give us so much. Thousands of people across the country will lace up their boots, grab their trail work gear, and head outdoors to explore, enjoy, and share these natural spaces with their local communities.
With the 2025 theme, “Any Trail, Anywhere, Leave It Better,” American Hiking Society invites everyone — whether it’s your first hike or your hundredth — to join the nationwide movement of trail stewards committed to protecting and improving trails and public lands to ensure everyone has access to enjoy these natural spaces.
“Trails give us so much — mental wellness, physical health, and a sense of connection to the outdoors and to each other,” said Heather Klein Olson, Executive Director of American Hiking Society. “On National Trails Day®, we honor that by giving back. Everyone deserves safe, welcoming, and accessible trails, and as trail users, we all have a responsibility to care for these spaces. National Trails Day® empowers everyone to take meaningful action in their communities, turning their love for the outdoors into lasting impact. Let’s ensure these places remain protected and cared for, now and for future generations.”
In 2024, thousands of volunteers improved more than 450 miles of trails in a single day. In 2025, American Hiking Society is calling on even more people to step up, pledge to leave the trails better than they found them, and take action in their communities. For more information, please click here.
