Become a Trail Guardian! Protect a mile of the Florida Trail
Did you know that it costs $2 a day to protect and maintain each mile of the Florida Trail (FT)? That’s $3,000 a day for all 1,500 miles of the FT. Join us as a Founding Member of the Florida Trail Guardians.
Trail Guardians are members who contribute monthly to maintain and protect the trail. Your $5, $10 or $15 monthly gift would protect one mile of the trail for a month, two months, or three months over the course of a year. Once you become a monthly donor, your membership is ongoing. No more renewal notices – which also means you are also helping to reduce our costs and apply more resources to the trail.
