Why Donate? The problems associated with outdoor recreation in America have reached critical mass and we are at a pivotal crossroads. In 2008, we experienced closures from coast to coast and we expected closures only to escalate in 2009. The two main reasons for loss of recreation access and opportunities are because of 1) damage caused by irresponsible (or un-informed) and recreationists. 2) a tremendous lack of government resources to maintain infrastructure like roads, trails and recreation facilities (due to severe budget cuts, chronic backlog, natural disasters, and new policies without funding.
