The Rails-to-Trails Conservancy is a nonprofit organization dedicated to transforming abandoned railway corridors into vibrant trails for walking, biking, and other outdoor activities. By repurposing these old rail lines, the conservancy promotes healthier lifestyles, connects communities, and preserves natural landscapes.
Through advocacy, education, and partnerships, the conservancy works to create a nationwide network of trails, known as the Rails-to-Trails network. This initiative not only enhances recreational opportunities but also supports local economies and encourages sustainable transportation options, making it easier for people to enjoy the great outdoors.
