Hilltromper is committed to providing our community with reliable information about outdoor fun, eco-news, sustainable living, etc., that is fun to read, carefully edited and good looking. For free.
To pay for this, we are partnering up with our favorite businesses and organizations and helping them reach you: the Hilltrompers. As one of the services we provide for our strategic partners, we write articles about things they're doing that we believe will be of interest to our community.
In the biz, this is called Sponsored Content, Vendor Content, Native Advertising, or Brand Publishing—and much of it is despicable. In many cases these are advertisements posing as journalism in an attempt to trick you.
If you found this page by following a link on an article page, that article was Hilltromper's version of Sponsored Content. If you check it out you will see that we are clearly endorsing whatever partner the article is about. We want you to know that in every case we stand by what we published. A vow: We will never lie to you, even if we're writing about someone who is paying us.
