Outdoor adventure is part of our DNA. We believe everyone has a right to experience nature and the recreational opportunities it provides. In light of that, we founded our Access and Stewardship program which allows us to leverage positive impact and drive change. This program inspires communities to pass on responsible recreation ethics, enables land access, and promotes healthy ecosystems.
We support enhancing and preserving sustainable land and water access for outdoor recreation.
We support projects and community engagement that remediate human-caused degradation to restore ecological health.
Support partner organizations on the frontline of access and stewardship work in their communities and regions.
Enable and empower action among outdoor communities to create a deeper culture of stewardship.
Utilize our data, research, and policy influence to support solutions to access and stewardship challenges of today.
Read through stories of success, events for conservation, and partnerships that are creating impact.

In a place known for barbecue, blues, and Beale Street, local conservationists are working on another accolade—public wetlands. Memphis sits at a crossroads. Economically, its position along the Mississippi River and Interstates 40 and 55 draw mega-employers like Fedex, Autozone, and International Paper. Culturally, the home of St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital, Elvis, and the blues, […]

In the heart of September, when the greenery is lush with deciduous vegetation, crowds gather at key locations across the southeast. This year, Sweep Up the Southeast, an initiative aimed at cleaning and revitalizing the region’s National Forests, made waves, thanks in large part to the efforts of Venture Unknown Foundation. The Genesis of Venture […]

In 2022, the onX Access and Stewardship program awarded the Sage Trail Alliance an Adventure Forever Grant to work on two trails in the Los Padres National Forest—three hours north of Los Angeles, California. The trails, Chorro Grande and Boulder Canyon, were damaged by fires, floods, and wind in the years leading up to the […]
onX Offroad and Toyota are proud to partner on the Trail Revival Project—a nationwide community-driven, club-led initiative dedicated to ensuring public land access is preserved long into the future. Trail Revival Project events invite volunteers to clear trees and debris, repair and maintain trail infrastructure, and help restore and protect the spaces we love to recreate on.
🔥 Win a Chainsaw! Not only will you feel good keeping trails clear, but one in every ten attendees will take home a brand-new chainsaw from each Trail Revival Project event!

Sixty percent of the land in the U.S. is privately owned, but millions of acres of private land around the country are open to hunters each year—all thanks to state programs and landowners who prioritize conservation and public access. Read our report to learn how much land is opened each year and what it takes for these programs to be successful.
At onX we believe that everyone should have access to nature, but we also realize that increased recreation means additional pressure on our public lands. And while most of us see the importance in stewardship, there’s a gap between the increasing number of outdoor enthusiasts and the percentage of those who give back to the lands that fuel their activities. Read the report to learn how we can encourage more outdoor stewardship and help preserve our access to the outdoors for the future.
We wanted to get the hard facts on corner-crossing, so we dove into the data. Read the report to learn how much land is involved, the concerns of affected property owners, and what can be done to address this complicated issue.
You may have public land at your fingertips you didn’t know about. Twenty states have state trust land (a.k.a. school land), and every one of those states has different access and activity rules, so we made it easy to look up which states allow hunting, off-roading, and backcountry activities so you can spend more time outside and less time on the internet.
We worked with the Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership to quantify the number of acres of public land that are landlocked, and therefore inaccessible to the public, and shared this information with land management agencies and policy makers.
Access is complicated. Stewardship is a journey. Learn more and take action.
A new ruling by the 10th Circuit Court clarifies that corner crossing can be legal under federal law, impacting access to over 3 million acres of public land. However, corner crossing still involves nuanced considerations—including local trespass laws, careful navigation, and respect for private property lines.
Discover how to navigate and access federal public lands with this comprehensive guide, covering land designations, regulations, and tips for responsible exploration.
GPS, or Global Positioning System, is at the core of navigation, but do you understand how it works?
A comprehensive guide on how to write effective public comments for land management plans, emphasizing the importance of being informed, specific, and constructive to influence decisions on recreational access and resource management.
The team at onX Offroad partnered up with the Public Lands Stewards of Bend to create this step-by-step guide to a safe, organized, and successful day. We hope this takes the wondering out of planning, so you can focus on getting it done.
We believe it’s part of our duty to give back to the places that fuel our adventures. We aim to preserve our lands and serve our outdoor communities through grant funding that protects recreational access and opportunities, restores our ecosystems, and mobilizes communities to give back. Together, we can protect adventure forever.
