About Appalachian Trail Conservancy:

The Appalachian Trail Conservancy (ATC) is a non-profit organization dedicated to protecting, managing, and advocating for the Appalachian National Scenic Trail. As one of the most significant volunteer projects worldwide, the Appalachian Trail is maintained day-to-day by a community of dedicated volunteers. The ATC works to ensure the long-term sustainability of the Trail by coordinating the efforts of numerous local trail clubs and engaging volunteers in essential maintenance and conservation activities.

The Potomac Appalachian Trail Club (PATC) is one of the local trail clubs that partners with the ATC to care for the Appalachian Trail. The PATC organizes regular work trips and events to maintain the Trail within their jurisdiction, including tasks such as cutting back overgrown vegetation, cleaning drainage systems, and repainting trail markers.

About The Trail Maintenance Day:

The Trail Maintenance Day event on July 6, 2024 is an opportunity for volunteers to contribute to the upkeep of the Appalachian Trail. Volunteers will gain valuable trail skills and conservation experience while working alongside a welcoming community of dedicated individuals. The event provides a light workout and quality time outdoors as volunteers work to make the Trail a better place. Following the work trip, volunteers are invited to stay for supper, further fostering a sense of community among the participants.

Advanced registration is required for this in-person work trip, and the event is only open to volunteers with a current domestic mailing address. By participating in this event, volunteers can play a direct role in the ongoing maintenance and preservation of the iconic Appalachian National Scenic Trail.
