Kids Trail Ambassador Program
Picture
On April 25, 2015  at the Wildwood Park Wetlands Festival in Harrisburg, KTA launched a new program aimed at engaging youth in hiking and the outdoors: The KTA Kids Trail Ambassador Program.

A total of 69 youth pledged to help KTA achieve its mission of providing, preserving, protecting, and promoting hiking trails in Pennsylvania by:
  • Advocating for our trails (encouraging others to Leave No Trace*)
  • Caring for our trails
  • Telling friends and family about nearby trails
  • Encouraging others to take a hike
  • Showing their Trail Ambassador card and spreading the word about why hiking trails need KTA!
They also pledged to abide by the principles of Leave No Trace*​
  • Plan Ahead and Prepare
  • Travel and Camp on Durable Surfaces
  • Dispose of Waste Properly
  • Leave What You Find
  • Minimize Campfire Impacts
  • Respect Wildlife
  • Be Considerate of Other Visitors

Thank you to the young men and women who chose to help KTA protect Pennsylvania’s hiking trails by becoming KTA Kids Trail Ambassadors!
