Participating in Headwaters Trails Alliance's fundraising and volunteer events is a great way to support the maintenance and enhancement of trails in Grand County. By donating to these events, people can help fund critical trail maintenance and improvement projects, as well as support the organization's educational and advocacy efforts.
National Public Lands Day is the largest and most productive volunteer project event of the year. Grand County has the longest-running annual NPLD event in the country with numerous projects spread out throughout the county. Volunteers have their choice of project which is usually followed by celebrating with a picnic in the park.

Colorado Public Lands Day and National Trails Day are two events that kick off our summer field season and give us a reason to celebrate our public lands.

Participating in these events allows folks to give back to public lands and learn the basics of trail maintenance.
