Kansas trails don’t maintain themselves—they rely on passionate volunteers and supporters to keep them safe, accessible, and thriving. Whether through donations, advocacy, or hands-on work, every effort makes an impact.  Here are some ways you can support Kansas trails:

• Check out nearby trails on our Kansas Trails map, then contact the trail or park manager to learn how you could become part of the trail team
• Start a trail user group to hold events and increase public awareness about a trail in your community
• Join a trail user group to connect with the area trail community.
• Donate time, materials, equipment or money to a local trail group
• Let the trail manager know about any trail issues you observe.  Having more frequent awareness of trail conditions helps trail managers maintain trails more efficiently.
• Pick up any trash along the trail or join a cleanup crew organized by the trail manager.
• Tell your friends and family about your favorite trail
