Trail Ambassador Sponsorship
The Moab Trail Ambassador Program is the cornerstone of Steward Moab - and one of the most impactful visitor education programs in the country. Since 2021, the program has reached over 300,000 trail users across four recreation groups: hiking, climbing, mountain biking, and OHV/motorized. Ambassadors are stationed at Moab's most visited trailheads and recreation corridors, meeting visitors where they are with education that is friendly, approachable, and effective.Three core goals. Teach visitors how to protect themselves, preserve Moab's natural and historical resources, and reduce user conflict on the trail. The results speak for themselves.A Nationally Recognized Leader. The Trail Ambassador Program is a four-time award-winning program and the first Leave No Trace Gold Standard program in the entire country — and the first Gold Standard designation in Utah. It has also been named Utah's Trails Program of the Year.

Moab Guide Summit Sponsorship
Sponsor the 2027 Moab Guide Summit!Moab's professional guide community is among the most influential forces shaping how visitors experience this landscape. Guides are the first to notice emerging trail issues, model responsible behavior, and educate clients about the demands of Moab's desert environment. A well-informed, well-connected guide community is one of the most powerful stewardship tools available — and the Moab Guide Summit is where that community is built.The Summit brings together guides, outfitter owners, land managers, and educators to share best practices, align on stewardship standards, and tackle challenges no single organization can solve alone. The results speak for themselves — 100% of surveyed attendees demonstrated measurable knowledge gains across all educational sessions. Guides arrived with limited familiarity and left with significantly deeper understanding across every topic.When the right people are in the same room, something lasting happens. With 92% of attendees ready to return in 2027, the Summit is just getting started — and your sponsorship makes that room possible.TransparencyWe want to be transparent about how your support works: sponsorship funds are utilized across all of Steward Moab's programming and events — including the staffing, planning, and operations that ensure every experience we deliver meets the standard our community deserves. Your investment in the Moab Guide Summit is an investment in the full ecosystem of work that makes it possible.

Moab Human Waste Initiative
Sponsor the Moab Human Waste Initiative — Help Keep Moab's Trails and Waterways CleanYour sponsorship of the Moab Human Waste Initiative does more than fund a campaign. It protects the trails, creeks, and public lands that make Moab one of the most extraordinary places on earth.Led by Steward Moab in partnership with local, state, and federal land agencies, the Human Waste Initiative is a countywide effort to change how visitors think about, and manage, human waste in the backcountry. Through disposal infrastructure, trail-side conversations, and county-wide messaging, the initiative reaches visitors at every touchpoint of their Moab experience, from the trailhead to the toilet to the drive home.This work matters because Moab's desert doesn't forgive carelessness. Human waste left behind contaminates water sources, lingers for over a year in the arid climate, and puts both visitors and the landscape at risk. The Human Waste Initiative gives land managers, guides, and businesses a unified way to educate every visitor, across every recreation group, before the damage is done.The numbers speak for themselves:🚽 33+ tons of human waste diverted from Moab's public lands💬 10,000+ trail conversations on Wag Bag disposal practices🤝 10+ local, state, and federal partners collaborating on this work🥾 200,000+ trail users educated across hiking, mountain biking, climbing, and OHV/4x4Protecting Moab's landscape starts with informed visitors.
