Mission

Founded in 1976, American Hiking Society is the only national organization that promotes and protects foot trails and the hiking experience. As a recreation-based organization, American Hiking Society champions conservation issues, builds partnerships between public and private stakeholders, and provides critical resources to plan, fund and develop foot trails. Our work is inspiring and challenging, and is built on three pillars: policy & advocacy; volunteerism and stewardship; outreach and education. American Hiking Society works toward ensuring that hiking trails and natural places are cherished and preserved for us and for future generations as well.
