Nature Valley® and American Hiking Society are pleased to announce 20 nonprofit organizations around the country have been named finalists for Save the Trails™ funding. Save the Trails, in cooperation with the American Hiking Society National Trails Fund, will award $5,000 to each of the top 10 finalists, based on online votes, to restore and revitalize hiking trails in their communities. Voting is open to the public until October 31, 2008.

“Hiking trails are gateways to nature’s greatest experiences, but they need regular maintenance to ensure their longevity and safety,” said Gregory A. Miller, American Hiking Society president. “The National Trails Fund is dedicated to preserving America’s hiking trails. Nature Valley’s generous donation has doubled the size of this year’s fund, which is benefiting the degree of our impact on hiking trails in local communities. Soon, 10 more organizations will be able to preserve their hiking trails for everyone to enjoy.”
