Your recreation fee dollars are partially funding the Trails Forever program, which is renovating and expanding park trails. Trails Forever provides ongoing planning, design, construction, rehabilitation and maintenance of heavily used and actively maintained trails within the park. Trails Forever is sponsored by the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy, National Park Service, and Presidio Trust.

Your recreation fee dollars also support annual trail clearing and maintenance at the Phleger Estate in San Mateo County; trails in Muir Woods National Monument in Marin County; and various other trails parkwide. These annual trail projects also provide opportunities for youth groups to perform trail maintenance, such as the Marin Conservation Corps, Americorps, and Student Conservation Association.
