Geocache with Rails-to-Trails Conservancy

It’s a winning combination! We are proud to announce that Geocaching.com and Rails-to-Trails Conservancy have formed an exciting new partnership.

Rails-to-Trails Conservancy, a charitable nonprofit, fosters one great mission: protecting America’s irreplaceable rail corridors by transforming them into multiuse trails. These rail-trails reconnect Americans with their neighbors, communities, nature and proud history. With more than 15,000 miles of rail-trail across the United States, geocachers are sure to find the perfect trail, whether in their backyard or the backcountry.

Calling All Geocaching Volunteers

As outdoor enthusiasts armed with GPS units, the geocaching community is uniquely qualified to assist Rails-to-Trails Conservancy in completing its mapping initiative: to collect GPS data for all 15,000 miles of existing rail-trail.

Volunteer today to help support this program. Once collected, this data is made available to the public for free on Rails-to-Trails Conservancy’s TrailLink.com. Volunteering your time is a fun and easy way to give back to a worthy cause.
