Engaging Networks

We currently engage the following regional networks that are working to support equitable outdoor access:

The Circuit Trails Coalition (CTC) – The Circuit Trails represent over 350 miles of connected trails in the Greater Philadelphia region. The Circuit Trails Coalition works to advance the completion and increase the use of this system.
The Coalition for the Delaware River Watershed (CDRW) – Supports 170+ member organizations advocate for a healthy and protected watershed that provides equitable access to clean water, land, outdoor recreation, and economic opportunity to all communities.
The Alliance for Watershed Education (AWE) – A regional initiative of twenty-three partnering environmental education centers that supports each center’s community engagement and outdoor education efforts.
Delaware River Watershed Initiative (DRWI) – DRWI aligns organizations across the Delaware River watershed to scale up their impact and accelerate the protection of important landscapes, restoration of degraded areas, and adoption of green infrastructure and responsible farming practices. The Initiative focuses on eight targeted areas. Results are tracked via ongoing monitoring at more than 300 locations across the basin.
