Youth on the National Trails System Report by PNTS (2009)

 The PNTS is proud to release its first Youth on the National Trails System report, which features programs and initiatives for youth employment, volunteerism, education, and outreach.  The programs listed are a sample of the great work that organizations and the federal agencies are doing to get youth out on the national scenic and historic trails to appreciate and learn from the natural beauty and history of our country.   If you are aware of a program that should be included in the next version of this report, please contact Julia Glad at PNTSCommunications@gmail.com.
