The Fireside Circle honors those individuals who give $500 or more annually to Washington Trails Association. Your generous financial support helps guarantee a lifetime of outdoor adventure and exploration, for you and for generations to come.

In recognition of your partnership, we’ll keep you informed of how your investment is making a difference. You’ll also enjoy special opportunities to hit the trail with WTA board members and staff, and see the results of your giving first-hand.

We invite you to become a member of the Fireside Circle today. You’ll join a dedicated group of hikers who, together, provide essential funding for WTA’s education, advocacy and trail maintenance programs.

Examples of how we'll invest your gift:

Teaching a group of teens the art of trail stewardship. Your gift of $500 could help WTA lead a one-day service project with a school or youth group.

Fixing your favorite wilderness trail. Your leadership gift of $2,500 could help a Backcountry Response Team make repairs that are beyond the reach of a day crew.
