Sorry, sign-ups for this event are now closed.
If you aren't able to join us in Olympia please call your representatives and let them know you value recreation funding and want the Discover Pass to be transferable.
Without proper funding many of the trails Washington hikers love will be closed or neglected - make your voice heard on this important issue.
On February 1 outdoor enthusiasts from across the state will come together in Olympia and urge legislators to protect funding for recreation and public lands.
Washington Trails Association works to advance the interests of hikers. But we can’t do it alone. Elected officials need to know that their constituents - you - care about preserving wildlands, accessing trails and having adequate funding for maintenance.

It is critical that the hiking community comes out in force for Lobby Day. The day will include a lobbying training, an issue briefing on recreation funding in Washington state, meetings with legislators and the opportunity to network with other hikers.
