onX & Toyota Expand Trail Revial Project to 24 Nationwide Trail Restoraion Events

If we don’t respect the off-road trails that are out there, they get shut down—period. Having good trail etiquette and picking up your trash is a great first step to keeping our public lands open for all to enjoy, but that’s just part of it. Digital navigation pioneer, onX is partnering with Toyota to expand the Trail Revival Project. This is a nationwide stewardship initiative dedicated to protecting and restoring access to public lands.

The Trail Revival Project

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 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. At the same time, 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. This is where the Trail Revival Project comes in.

Toyota Returns As A Key Partner

Toyota returns this year as onX’s key partner. They’ll provide 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 28: George Washington National Forest, Virginia
• March 28: Ocala National Forest, Florida
• April 1: San Bernardino National Forest, CaliforniaApril 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

More projects will be announced in the coming months.

Access and Stewardship

“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.”

If you’re looking to participate in the Trail Revival Project, sign up to volunteer or apply to host a local event.

Remember: If you’re going to explore off pavement, you simply must do your part. From basic trash pickup on the trail when you’re out, to these organized trail maintenance events, following Tread Lightly! principles, learning off-road trail etiquette, and simply being a good human being will all help to keep our trails open. So do your part. Whether you’re out for the day or doing something crazy like the TransAmerica Trail, we all have to pitch in. It’s worth it.
