2016 Annual Report
2016 was a year of celebration for Washington Trails Association. We took time to honor our 50 year history while recognizing the amazing community who has supported us along the way. The past year reminded all of us at WTA of our very best asset: You! Your enthusiasm translates into action. Whether you hike, volunteer on trail, write a trip report or support WTA as a member, you helped us accomplish some incredible milestones in 2016. Thank you for showing that a diverse community of hikers can do so much for trails and public lands. We look forward to continuing our work together toward achieving our strategic goals.

Everyone in Washington has access to local trails and opportunities to enjoy quality hiking experiences. In 2016, WTA volunteers worked year-round to build and maintain more than 240 trails from urban adventures to remote wilderness. This sweat equity, and your support, helps WTA amplify the voices of hikers. Our on-the-ground impact makes WTA a powerful influencer in planning processes and policy decisions to keep the trails system you love safe, accessible and growing to meet the increasing demand.
WTA volunteers completed 150,000 hours of trail work across the state in 2016. That’s like hiring a full-time workforce of 70 trail workers.
WTA’s advocacy director traveled to Washington, D.C., to meet with members of Congress and hand-deliver WTA’s petition, signed by nearly 1,000 hikers, to support better funding for trails.
In 2016, Gabe became a new volunteer crew leader in Southwest Washington. He strives to make each day of trail work interesting and engaging for volunteers. Gabe continues to reinforce what he learned on his very first day volunteering. While the work is important, it is the people that keep you coming back. VOLUNTEER SPOTLIGHT: GABE SMITH
“There are so many benefits to volunteering — getting outside, working with great people and making a real difference. I am so grateful to everyone who comes out on a work party. I always find new reasons to come out, but I it is most rewarding when a volunteer teaches me Photo by Bennew Corwin and, at the same time, I am able to share something with them a new aspect of trail work.” Photo by Ryan Ojerio

New generations will connect with, explore and conserve the outdoors.
YOUTH SPOTLIGHT: JULIANNA HOZA
WTA is committed to inspiring the next generation of hikers, outdoor leaders and stewards. With your help, we are working on reducing the significant social, structural and institutional barriers that prevent communities from enjoying the outdoors. WTA strives to meet hikers where they are and fosters a community united by a shared love of the outdoors and a desire to protect these special places.
WTA’s Outdoor Leadership Training program empowers teachers and youth workers with the training and resources they need to lead safe and fun outdoor adventures. OLT helped support more than 1,370 outdoor experiences for youth in 2016.
25 percent of WTA’s volunteers in 2016 were under the age of 18. That includes 8 teens who joined our unique 15-day trip on the Hoh River Trail. They repaired storm damage and then took a break to truly experience the trail during a backpacking side trip.
We hosted events across the state, bringing hikers together to learn more about our work and discover a new favorite trail. WTA@50, our anniversary celebration, brought out hundreds of enthusiastic supporters and partners.
WTA Youth Ambassador Julianna Hoza has accrued almost 25 days on trail, including an extended volunteer vacation on the Hoh River. She has no plans of slowing down. Julianna has consistently gone above and beyond on her youth ambassador projects. Not only did she start a hiking club at her own high school, she also inspired a nearby school to do the same.
“My projects have made the outdoors a life focus for me. Maybe the biggest impact on my life has been the Hiking Club I founded at my high school. Anyone is welcome on these hikes, and perhaps the most amazing part of making this group has been seeing people who have never been in the mountains go out and have an outdoor adventure for the first time.” —JULIANNA HOZA, WTA YOUTH AMBASSADOR

In honor of our 50th anniversary, Gov. Jay Inslee declared Washington Trails Day, a day to celebrate trails. The City of Seattle followed suit, highlighting the powerful impact that WTA has had on outdoor recreation in Washington.

Washington is the nation’s strongest voice for hikers and trails. Outdoor recreation is vital to our state’s economy and quality of life. Thanks to the voices of our members and supporters, WTA has become a powerful force to protect trails in our state and is a national model for growing and organizing communities of stewards..
MEMBER SPOTLIGHT: CHARLIE LIEU
WTA’s online community is one of the largest of its kind with 7,940 hikers helping their fellow hikers by writing more than 19,880 trip reports in 2016. Across the state, trip reporters share their experiences on local hikes and provide updated trail conditions to the community.
WTA rallied 36,200 activists to help shape recreation policy in Washington, including engaging hikers in local planning processes and highlighting the need to invest in our public resources.
Charlie exemplifies what makes the WTA community so powerful. Whether volunteering on a work party, speaking out in support of funding for public lands or writing for Washington Trails magazine, she is always ready to step up and do what she can to protect the places she cares about.
“For years I took wilderness protection and trail access for granted. WTA showed me that the politics and policy around hiking trails can be complex. There are competing forces for use of our public lands, and not all intend to preserve it for posterity. Advocacy for our wild places is not something we can take for granted—everyone needs to get involved.” —CHARLIE LIEU, WTA MEMBER Photo courtesy Charlie Lieu
