Our National Park Service can help Move Your Ideas Into Action

The Rivers, Trails, and Conservation Assistance Program is the community assistance arm of the National Park Service. RTCA supports community-led natural resource conservation and outdoor recreation projects.

RTCA staff provide technical assistance to communities so they can conserve rivers, preserve open space, and develop trails and greenways.

RTCA often acts as a catalyst to help assemble the necessary pieces to achieve on-the-ground conservation success, helping identify resources, navigate the planning process, convert ideas into actions. Program staff often provide technical assistance in conceptual planning, organizational development, and capacity building.
