If you can't join our NHC work trips on Wednesdays, but would like to help maintain the AT, or build new Trail, or improve worn-out Trail, etc., here's a great idea!
The Appalachian Trail Conservancy runs a "volunteer Trail Crew" program each Summer. They recruit interested hikers, train them in trail construction/repair techniques, then take them out to sections of the AT that need work.
To learn about how this program works, and how you can join with them, go to
this web site and learn how YOU can help!
