The Trail Conservancy

A PRO fit for non-profits How The Trail Conservancy uses Bitly QR Codes to build community connections "Tools like QR Codes have revolutionized our approach to messaging," said COO Hanna Morgan Cofer. "We now incorporate QR Codes into just about everything we do! All of our signs—temporary and permanent—connect back to detailed information on our website. (They) are the most effective way to communicate about our projects, ecological initiatives, trail etiquette, giving opportunities, programs, and events. They allow us to have ongoing, consistent communication with the community." If you've been on any part of the Ann and Roy Butler Hike-and-Bike Trail in downtown Austin, Texas, you'll know that TTC's use of QR Codes is comprehensive. One can't take many steps (or pedal far) without seeing signage helping visitors navigate the trail, get information about improvements, identify a tree or plant, or donate to support TTC's mission. Bitly's QR Codes help non-profits (and businesses, too), like The Trail Conservancy, make every connection count!
