Texas Forest Trail Partnership Program
The Texas Forest Trail Partnership Program connects East Texas organizations to a 35-county heritage tourism network that promotes the places, stories, events, and landscapes that define the region.
County-Based Partnership Pricing
Many of East Texas’ most meaningful stories are found in its rural communities, small towns, museums, historic sites, and volunteer-led organizations. These places are central to the region’s history, culture, and heritage tourism, yet often operate with limited staff, budgets, and promotional reach.
Our pricing is designed to reflect that reality. By basing annual contributions on county population, smaller communities can take part affordably while receiving the same benefits and regional exposure as larger tourism centers.
Under this model, organizations within 24 of our 35 counties qualify for the most affordable level, helping us serve the full Forest Trail Region more equitably and effectively.
Same benefits. Same regional network. Pricing based on population.
