Introducing our 6th class of Grounds Keepers!
Meet this year's team of 15 dedicated individuals who are leaving our wild places better.

The 2022 Grounds Keepers team is a combination of 10 diverse new hikers and paddlers and 5 "Legacy" GKs who have been rockstars for the program in years past. As always, our goal is to remove as much trash as possible from our trails, parks, waterways, and lakes around the world (we have two international GKs this year).

When trash is in our wild places, it is everyone's responsibility. We ask you to tag @TheGroundsKeepers and use #LeaveItBetter or #TheGroundsKeepers when you get outside and pick up trash. We like to share the love!
