onX and Toyota Expand Trail Revival Project to 24 Nationwide Trail Restoration Events
Community-led trail restoration efforts grow across the U.S. as outdoor recreation surges and volunteer trail groups decline.
onX, the industry pioneer in digital navigation technology, is partnering with Toyota for a second year to expand the Trail Revival Project, a nationwide stewardship initiative dedicated to protecting and restoring access to public land trails.
In 2026, the Trail Revival Project will support 24 trail restoration and cleanup projects across the United States, bringing together off-road clubs, volunteers, and land managers to maintain and reopen trails threatened by erosion, storm damage, overgrowth, and illegal dumping.
The effort comes at a critical moment for public lands as outdoor recreation continues to surge. Many off-road trail clubs — longstanding operational partners to land managers responsible for clearing, maintaining, and restoring trails — are facing declining participation. Despite contributing more than 2.6 million hours of service annually (work equivalent to over 1,700 full-time employees) these groups are seeing reduced engagement, while land management agencies contend with limited staffing and funding. As a result, many trails go without consistent maintenance, leaving them increasingly vulnerable to erosion, overgrowth, and closure.
Toyota returns this year as onX’s key partner, providing funding, vehicles, and logistical support to help power trail restoration efforts nationwide.
In its first year, the onX and Toyota Trail Revival Project initiative mobilized 400+ volunteers across 14 projects in 13 states, contributing more than 2,400 hours of trail work to restore 30 trails and nearly 50 miles of access routes through debris removal, drainage repairs, trash cleanup, and other maintenance.
Trail Revival Project events currently planned for 2026 include:
- March 21: Mark Twain National Forest, Missouri
- March 21: Tonto National Forest, Arizona
- March 28: George Washington National Forest, Virginia
- March 28: Ocala National Forest, Florida
- April 1: San Bernardino National Forest, California
- April 25: Mendocino National Forest, California
- April 25: Coeur d’Alene National Forest, Idaho
- June 6: Langlade County OHV Trails, Wisconsin (Rain Date June 11)
- June 28: White River National Forest, Colorado
- June 28: Salmon-Challis National Forest, Idaho
- July 26–August 8: Pioneer Trail, Carson National Forest, New Mexico
- August 8: Arapeen OHV Trail System, Utah
Additional projects will be announced in the coming months.
“Access without stewardship is simply not sustainable,” said Griffen Gilbert, onX Offroad Community Marketing Manager. “Trails don’t maintain themselves. The Trail Revival Project supports the land management agencies, local clubs, and volunteers who do the work to keep these routes open for future generations.”
“Toyota Trucks are designed for adventure seekers, and with that passion comes a responsibility to help preserve the places where those adventures happen,” said Mike Tripp, Group Vice President of Toyota Marketing. “Building on the positive impact we made in 2025, we’re excited to continue supporting the Trail Revival Project and the dedicated volunteers working to keep trails open for the community.”
