National Trails Day is a celebration of America’s Trail System, occurring annually on the first Saturday in June. America’s 200,000 miles of trails allow us access to the natural world for recreation, education, exploration, solitude, inspiration, transportation and much more. The Greater Alachua Trail Keepers is a group of community volunteers who have partnered with the City of Gainesville Recreation, Parks and Cultural Affairs Department to gather on weekends and clean our area trails. The Trail Keepers would like to invite the entire community to join efforts for National Trails Day and clean trails across the community.
