House Trails Caucus

The mission of the bipartisan House Trails Caucus is to provide a forum for interested Members of Congress to work together for the creation and conservation of our natural landscape and recreation activities through the preservation of trails. They do this through such things as hosting briefings and informational events as well as by being a forum for information sharing between Members, staff, and stakeholders about relevant policies, as well as information about recreational hiking, bicycling, and other trail activities in a Member’s community.
