West Virginia DNR
In October 2023, Trail Life USA and the West Virginia Department of Natural Resources signed a memorandum of understanding which granted Trail Life Troops free access to WV state parks while providing service project opportunities at those state parks for Trailmen. This is a great opportunity for Trail Life because our Trailmen get free access to State Parks. There are lots of service opportunities and chances for learning at the state parks, and our hope is that Trailmen will seize this opportunity to lead the charge when it comes to stewarding the natural beauty around them and taking pride in their home states.
West Virginia State Parks, operated by the West Virginia Division of Natural Resources, consists of 36 state parks, 9 state forests, and 3 rail trails. West Virginia's state parks provide outdoor recreation to the citizens and visitors of the state, and operates lodges, cabins, campgrounds, golf courses, historic sites, spas, and many other recreational activities.
