Trail Hero Group
ORGANIZATION: Mariposa Trails
Please visit the new page to apply.
WHAT IS A TRAIL HERO? An individual who serves the
community by working to keep public trails open and
maintained for use by others.
WHO WE ARE: Mariposa Trails is a registered charitable
non-profit that restores local trails and promotes their use
through education, adventure, and stewardship programs
in Mariposa County. Our programs are an invitation to build
comradery with one another, while acknowledging nature
is reciprocating with the gift of health and healing in
people.
HOW IT WORKS: Organize a group of no more than 10
adults, and commit to a trail-tending date. You provide the
transportation, food and water for each volunteer, and
assure each has appropriate footwear and clothing.
Mariposa Trails will provide a trail guide, trail-tending tools
and training, personal protection equipment along with a
safety talk. Plan for a full day of activity.
Contact us at (209) 626-9898 or mariposatrails@sti.net for more information or visit our website at mariposatrails,org.

Mission Statement
We provide trail access and promote its use for adventure, health, stewardship, education and community prosperity. In these times, we often find ourselves separated from one another, alone behind a computer screen, secluded in a social media bubble or estranged by ideologies. Finding common ground between city and rural dweller, people of disparate economic means or even age, can be a struggle. At the same time, we find ourselves separated from nature. Locally, our access to nature is limited more and more by natural disasters and little to no federal budget for non-motorized trails. Yet, these are also times when we have learned about nature’s healing power, the benefits of outdoor activity and the real necessity for human connection. Mariposa Trails believes that through our sojourns in nature and stewardship of trails, we find that common ground. Our stewardship, education and adventure programs foster health and offer a fresh hope of restoration. They are also an invitation to build comradery with one another, while acknowledging nature is reciprocating with the gift of health and healing in people.
