The
Green Mountain Club and its 7500 plus members
from across the country share a love for
hiking and a commitment to preserving and
protecting the Long Trail System for future
generations. There are many ways to help
the GMC in its mission to maintain, manage,
and protect the Long Trail. The most basic
way to help is to become a GMC member. Another
important way to help is to volunteer.
Although the Green Mountain Club primarily
cares for the Long Trail, the Club's advocacy
and education efforts also safeguard Vermont's
many other hiking trails. GMC volunteers
and staff teach low-impact practices and
safety skills that outdoor enthusiasts use
whenever they hit the backwoods. Through
its land protection program in northern
Vermont, the Club has protected more than
fifty-five miles of the Long Trail System
and 16,000 acres of backcountry land.
The
Green Mountain Club maintains the Long Trail
in cooperation with the Vermont Department
of Forests, Parks and Recreation, U.S. Forest
Service, National Park Service, Appalachian
Trail Conference, and private landowners.
