TrailKeepersYouth is a nonprofit dedicated to wildfire prevention, nature protection, and evidence-based research that keeps California communities and wild spaces thriving.
Our Mission
TrailKeepersYouth was founded on the belief that wildfire prevention and nature protection go hand in hand. We train families, restore habitats, and share science-backed resources across California.
From neighborhood evacuation drills to cutting-edge prevention research, every action we take is rooted in community trust and love for the land.
Training homeowners in defensible space, evacuation routes, and go-bag preparedness.
Habitat restoration, fuel reduction crews, and partnerships with land trusts across California.
Funding and publishing research on fire behavior, ecosystem vulnerability, and prevention strategies.
