Last Year's Celebration
On Saturday, April 18, 2020, Rails-to-Trails Conservancy (RTC) hosted "Celebrate Trails @Home"—an all-virtual national celebration of trails!
Held on the same day we would have gathered to celebrate Opening Day for Trails in person, this 2020 home-based celebration brought together voices from the trails movement to share stories of hope, examples community resilience in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, and appreciation for trails everywhere.
Thank you to everyone who tuned in for the special broadcast and celebrated trails with us! We hope you’ll continue to express gratitude and support for trails and the people who make them possible.
