Our Story

Barriers to experiencing the outdoors take many forms, from limited access and cultural exclusion to safety concerns and uncertainty about where to begin. At the same time, our parks, trails, and shared natural spaces face growing pressures that demand thoughtful stewardship. TrailMix was started from the belief that these challenges can be addressed through community, compassion, and a deep commitment to equity.

Women-led and equity-driven from the start, TrailMix places people at the center of outdoor access, working to make nature truly welcoming, safe, and joyful for all. Through teaching outdoor skills, caring for trails and landscapes, and cultivating inclusive communities, we bring together professionals, advocates, and volunteers to ensure everyone feels invited to step onto the trail and find their place in the outdoors.
