How ATF OperatesThe role of the ATF is to work in close cooperation with the NPS to promote the mission of the Juan Bautista de Anza National Historic Trail. To that end, the ATF has a formal agreement with the NPS to provide “donation assistance and support for trail project and program needs; promote the protection, understanding, and appreciation of the Juan Bautista de Anza National Historic Trail; and support projects and programs that will enhance the visitor experience or improve and protect natural and cultural resources along the trail.”
To accomplish this support role, the ATF frequently partners with other federal land management agencies and non-profit organizations. Many of these agencies administer lands crossed by the Juan Bautista de Anza National Historic Trail and share a common goal of resource protection and promotion. The ATF does not employ any staff and is strictly run by a volunteer board. Governmental, private, and tribal partnerships are essential to helping the ATF reach its goals.
