Stewardship Opportunities
Foothills trails always need maintenance and care, especially as Salt Lake City’s population grows. Committed Foothills Stewards will help our team’s efforts to expand and maintain our trail system, model proper trail use, be a voice for conservation, and build community around a shared passion for our Public Lands.
