If you like to hike and explore new places, you’ve likely run across AllTrails. It’s a web application and online community where people can share information about trails they’ve visited and enjoyed. Great idea, right? It’s become very popular, particularly since the beginning of the pandemic, as people sought ways to get exercise safely.

In practice, however, since trail managers were kept out of the loop, some serious problems were cropping up. Trail managers struggled to keep users safe and maintain the lands they have promised to protect in perpetuity.

Now, AllTrails has created a free Public Lands Program, which gives trail managers quick access to easily adjust route lines and descriptions, inform visitors with real-time alerts, and track usage patterns that help them proactively manage the overall visitor experience and impacts. In our lunchtime Zoom session, Pitt Grewe, Head of Public Land Partnerships at AllTrails, will share the inside scoop on the new Program and explain how land trusts can create an account, take control of their trail listings, and even start using AllTrails data in helpful ways. Please join us!

Register today.
