Dear Trail Lovers,

We’re kicking off our Annual Membership Drive to raise $65,000 in support of Idaho’s trails on December 1 and going through the end of the month. With your help, we can make 2025 an incredible year for preserving and maintaining the places we all cherish. Whether you give $30, $60, $100, or more, your generosity helps keep Idaho’s trails open and welcoming to everyone. And if you are a first time ITA donor, you can get your first year of membership for just $25!

Idaho is home to over 10,000 miles of trails—places that bring us together, inspire us, and connect us to the beauty of nature. But trails need care to stay open. Without regular maintenance, they can quickly become impassable. Your donation isn’t just a gift; it’s an investment in ensuring future generations can experience the joy and wonder of Idaho’s great outdoors.

Your support will help:

🌲 Organize maintenance projects to clear trails across Idaho

🔧 Buy tools and safety equipment for trail work

🌟 Train volunteer leaders to guide stewardship teams

👟 Fund programs for youth, women, and veterans to connect with nature

📚 Teach Leave No Trace principles to preserve trails for the future

🥾 Conserve trails and keep public lands public

Every donation—large or small—brings us closer to protecting Idaho’s public lands and the memories they hold by helping us care for more miles of trail. Together, we can ensure these trails remain places of joy, connection, and inspiration for years to come.

Let’s make 2025 a year to remember for Idaho’s trails. Donate today and join us in this important mission.

With heartfelt gratitude,

The ITA Team
