Fresh Treks combats climate change with “Hike in a Bag,” an innovative product available in national parks that doubles as a donation. Each bag supports relief and restoration efforts tied to specific climate impacts—wildfires, wind damage, flooding, or mudslides. Packed with essentials like sunscreen, a reusable water bottle, granola, and a trail map highlighting local environmental challenges, it’s designed for all types of hikers. Every purchase helps protect wildlife and preserve the ecosystems you explore.
Making your mark.
Each element bag is inspired by one of the four natural elements and supports the restoration of national parks affected by related environmental issues—such as mudslides, flooding, wildfires, and wind damage. These natural disasters are increasingly common as a result of climate change. With every purchase, a portion of proceeds is donated to restoration efforts connected to the element represented on the bag, helping rebuild and protect these ecosystems over time.
