Established in 1991, the Friends of the Washington and Old Dominion Trail — FoWOD for short — is a citizen-driven organization dedicated to protecting and improving the W&OD Trail. You can join us by visiting NOVA Parks and selecting the option that fits your budget.
The most visible manifestation of the FoWOD is the Trail Patrol, the members of which volunteer their time to travel the trail in different modes, promoting safe use of the trail and providing assistance and information as needed. Contact us to learn more about it by visiting Trail Patrol.
