Thank you to all those who supported our 2023 “Celebrating Generations of Conservation and Advocacy" Annual Gala

We are deeply grateful to the wonderful Trail Conference community for their energetic, friendly presence and amazing generosity at this year’s Annual Gala.

Nearly 175 individuals came together in celebration and support of the Trail Conference. The spirit of preservation was tangible as we celebrated the Trail Conference’s dedication to conserving, protecting and advocating for trail lands for over a century.

We are incredibly humbled by your support. Our work wouldn’t be possible without you. Thank you for making the evening a truly memorable one.

We would especially like to share our sincere gratitude for our honorees, visionary environmental leaders, Anne Todd Osborn and Fred Osborn III for their shared commitment and affinity to conserve, protect, and advocate for the precious lands around our region. Please enjoy our tribute video to their legacy. Our Master of Ceremonies, George Whipple III for his clear and enthusiastic execution of the program and former Governor George Pataki for his personal, heartfelt, introduction of our honorees.
