Trail Conference's Annual Gala + Auction

The Trail Conference’s Annual Auction is our largest fundraising event, with all proceeds supporting our programs and advancing our mission.

Over a century ago, the Trail Conference was founded by outdoor-lovers who believed the weariness of modern life could be cured by a walk in the woods. Since 1920, our volunteers and supporters have been true trailblazers—working to make trails safe, accessible, and inspiring while protecting the natural areas they traverse.

We invite you to join us at our Annual Gala on Friday, October 3 at The Garrison, as we celebrate the Hudson Highlands Fjord Trail—a visionary project redefining how people connect with the Hudson Valley’s iconic landscapes.

Happy bidding, and thank you for supporting the Trail Conference!

The New York-New Jersey Trail Conference is a volunteer-powered organization that builds, maintains, and protects public trails. Together with our partners, we strive to ensure that the trails and natural areas we share are sustainable and accessible for all to enjoy for generations to come.
