American Trails was founded in 1988 as the only trails organization that brings voices together from every trail user group (hiking, cycling, paddling, motorized, equestrian, and more) to advocate for more and better trails. We work behind the scenes supporting policy that supports trails, providing training to trail workers and builders, attending lobbying events in Washington D.C. such as Hike the Hill, and every two years putting on the International Trails Symposium which brings participants from across the world together to tackle and learn about trail issues.

We work with many federal partners, including the U.S. Forest Service, the Bureau of Land Management, the Federal Highway Administration, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and the National Park Service.

Recently we launched a "Why Trails" initiative aimed at helping those in local, state, and federal leadership learn why investing in trails and outdoor recreation pays off. Learn more here, and don't forget to follow us on Facebook.

Participants: Mike Passo, Executive Director, Candace Gallagher, Director of Operations, and Taylor Goodrich, Communication and Media Specialist

Saturday Morning Political Cartoon Thread

Posted: 14 Sep 2019 08:00 AM PDT

It's Saturday, folks. Let's all kick back with a cup of coffee and share some cartoons!

Feel free to share political cartoons in this thread. Besides our usual civility policy, there are three rules to follow:

Every top-level comment must contain a political cartoon. This means no text-only top-level comments.
It must be an original cartoon. This means no photographs, no edited cartoons, no memes and no image macros. OC is allowed, as is animation.
Each top-level comment should only have a maximum of 3 cartoons.

That's all. Enjoy your weekend!
