Rails-to-Trails Conservancy

The Rails-to-Trails Conservancy is a nonprofit organization in the United States dedicated to transforming unused railway corridors into multi-use public trails. These trails promote outdoor recreation, active transportation, and community connectivity while preserving natural and cultural environments. By converting abandoned rail lines into walking, biking, and running paths, the organization helps improve health, local economies, and access to nature. Their work supports sustainable development and fosters inclusive, vibrant communities through accessible outdoor spaces.
