The NFF’s Burned Landscape Trail Improvement Initiative focuses on restoring recreational access in the Santa Fe and Gila National Forests impacted by the 2022 Hermit’s Peak Calf Canyon Fire and Black Fire. In collaboration with the U.S. Forest Service and community partners, the program will enhance trail systems through rehabilitation, maintenance, and public engagement in stewardship, ultimately fostering a sustainable trail network that benefits both participants and the local community for generations to come.
