Events Description
Join rare and #StepUpforNature at this year’s Trail Party! Sign up to walk, hike or run and raise money to help protect environmentally sensitive lands in our community, now and forever!
This is a fundraising event and we’ve set a goal to raise $50,000 to protect the valuable lands across Waterloo Region/Wellington County that are:
- home to 5,400+ species of flora, fauna, aquatics and more
- free and accessible for individuals and families to enjoy and explore
- safe from changing government policies that could threaten it
- the site of many important and ongoing research studies
- vital to the health and well-being of our community
Will you #StepUpforNature? It’s as Easy as 1-2-3!
1. Register Online:
- Choose whether you will walk, hike or run.

Your Registration fee includes:

2. Share your Passion:
Funds raised through the annual Trail Party help rare to continue the important work they do throughout the year. To reach our goal, we ask that you share your passion for nature with your friends, family and colleagues and ask them to donate to support you in your participation and help us protect local natural spaces now and forever. Perhaps even consider putting together a team from work.
Each participant that raises over $100 ($50 for kids 12 and under) will receive our exclusive 2026 Bandana donated by Civilian Screen Printing. How will you wear yours?
