If you are looking for family travel itineraries that support conservation and sustainable travel, Country Walkers is the perfect place. With Earth Day in April, the leading provider of walking adventures put together a list of spring itineraries that contribute to a more sustainable world through supporting local economies, conserving wildlife, preserving indigenous cultures and protecting the environment.

 

To support special conservation and charitable projects in communities worldwide, Country Walkers created The Travelers Fund,which makes donations on behalf of every traveler who books one of these specific tours.

 

Wildlife Conservation in the Rocky Mountains

When you book the  Montana: Glacier National Park Tour, you contribute to Wildlife Conservation in the Rocky Mountains. The Yellowstone to Yukon Conservation Initiative seeks to reconnect segments of land separated by development. By building a wildlife-friendly overpass, it seeks to help animals roam from region to region in a safe manner.

 

Clean Water in Zambia

Travelers who book the Botswana & Zambia Safari will help bring clean water to Zambia. Currently, 345 million people in Africa live without access to clean drinking water. With local partners at Charity Begins Home, Country Walkers supports the Commit to Clean Water Fund, an initiative helping to bring water to those in need.

 

Cornwall Coastal Preservation

When embarking on the England: The Cornwall Coast trip, Country Walkers will make a donation to The South West Coast Path Association. The association advocates for improvements to more than 630 miles of the historic coastal trail system.

 

Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty

A donation to help preserve the beauty of the Cotswolds will be made when you book the England: The Cotswolds tour. This area is the largest recognized Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in England and offers stunning scenery and rolling hills.
