Institutional collaboration

Businesses, agencies, and institutions of all types have a long history with the American Discovery Trail Society. In 1989 a group of writers and editors at Backpacker Magazine first floated the idea for the trail. Dozens of businesses played a role in the launch and land management agencies across the country played a role in the planning.

We invite you your firm, agency, foundation, school, or non-profit to play a role in the growth and success of the American Discovery Trail — to help people enjoy the outdoors and to help them learn about and enjoy what you have to offer.
