Program
Equestrian groups and individuals are
encouraged to participate in trail maintenance and restoration
projects. Thanks to the partnership with Tractor Supply Company, AQHA

community involvement and trail sustainability.

Funds for trails come from various sources,
including federal appropriations, state funds, grants, and private
donations. Regardless of administration or funding source, most trails
are founded on public-private partnerships and include some form of
cost-sharing or leveraging. Volunteer contributions both through labor
and direct funding are critical to trail construction, protection, and
continued maintenance. In 1999, volunteer contributions to the national
scenic and historic trails alone totaled over 550,000 volunteer hours
(with an estimated labor value of $7.4 million) and $5.7 million in
financial contributions. Countless more funds and labor help establish
and protect trails on our public lands in general.

Nelson Stewardship Program Friends Groups
The Wisconsin Legislature has allocated $46
million annually through 2010 to provide outdoor recreational
opportunities, protect sensitive lands, and conserve and restore
wildlife habitat. Each year, $250,000 will be set aside in a special
grant program for Friends groups and nonprofit conservation
organizations (NCOs) to improve facilities, build new recreation
projects and restore habitat on state properties. The program
recognizes the important role these groups play in meeting the
development and restoration needs of state properties.
