Adopt a Trail

Do you have favorite trails at KNC? Trails that you enjoy visiting in all seasons, or that have special meaning to you?

The Kalamazoo Nature Cente’rs Adopt-A-Trail Program provides a way for individuals and businesses to sponsor maintenance on KNC’s extensive trail system. It is a great way to demonstrate that you care for trails that current and future generations will enjoy.

Your trail adoption is good for one year from month of purchase.
