“Thank you to Purple Lizard Maps for its dedication to the Tread Lightly! mission and for being part of one of our trail restoration projects,” said Matt Caldwell, Executive Director of Tread Lightly!. “Education is a key component to responsible recreation and these maps help riders across the Mid-Atlantic know before they go.”
