What is the Rivers & Trails Program?
The Rivers, Trails, and Conservation Assistance Program is the community assistance arm of the National Park Service. RTCA supports community-led natural resource conservation and outdoor recreation projects.

RTCA staff provide technical assistance to communities so they can conserve rivers, preserve open space, and develop trails and greenways.
