A STORY FROM OUR AGENCY:
At the Nebraska Trails Foundation, our mission is to build, connect, and protect trails across the state—ensuring that every Nebraskan has access to safe, beautiful places to move, connect, and explore the outdoors.
Our story began with a bold act of belief. When the Missouri Pacific rail line was abandoned, a group of early Foundation members saw possibility—not loss. Determined to preserve the corridor for future generations, they mortgaged their own homes to purchase the land. It wasn’t just a financial risk; it was a deeply personal commitment to Nebraska’s future.
That act of courage laid the groundwork for what would become the MoPac Trail—a beloved and vital part of Nebraska’s trail network. And it set the tone for everything we’ve done since. Over the past 36 years, the Nebraska Trails Foundation has invested $8.3 million into trail advocacy, planning, and construction across the state.
Our work ensures communities—rural and urban alike—can enjoy the health, economic, and quality-of-life benefits that trails bring. Every mile we help build is rooted in that same spirit of vision and sacrifice.
When you support the Nebraska Trails Foundation, you’re not just funding a project—you’re carrying forward a legacy of bold action and lasting impact.
