Nature Trails is a nationally recognized trail design and construction firm specializing in recreational trail infrastructure for developers, municipalities, non-profits, and private landowners. Our philosophy is ‘Conservation Through Recreation’ meaning that our focus is on creating active uses for managed forests, green space, and tree buffers to ensure it remains for future generations.
Whether you favor hiking, biking, equestrian, or other modes of travel, we believe that access to nature through local trail networks directly improves everyday life both physically and mentally.
