Preserving the Spirit of Potomac’s Trails Since the 1960s

For over 50 years, PBHTA has worked to preserve, protect, and maintain open spaces and trails in the Potomac and Montgomery County area for equestrians and hikers alike.
We build community while advocating for conservation, equestrian heritage, and safe public access so everyone can continue to enjoy our region’s open spaces.
Trails, Community, and Open Space—Preserved Together.
