Each year in February, as part of the "Hike the Hill" effort coordinated by the American Hiking Society, the Florida Trail Association sends a group of staff and key volunteers to meet with our Florida legislators on Capitol Hill to remind them of the importance of Florida's own National Scenic Trail to the Florida economy and to the public.

In conjunction with this effort, your staff assembles statistics and reports to compile a special report, which is customized for each member of the Florida delegation to the United States Congress. Our advocacy team utilizes the book to explain our achievements and to make the ask for additional funding. Please browse through these documents and take a look at the effort we put forth to keep the Florida Trail foremost in our legislators' minds when it comes time to decide on funding.
