Report Your Hours On-line
- Use the form here to submit your volunteer hours to us to record. Please submit your hours either on-line, or a paper copy by mail, but NOT both!
Nominate a Volunteer
- Each year the NCTA presents a number of deserving people with awards for their service to the Trail and the Association. YOU can make nominations for these awards. See the categories, requirements, and use the on-line form to nominate someone.
Blazing
-
Pages created by the Spirit of the Woods Chapter. They present standards, philosophy, information and tips on how to paint blazes along the trail. Includes articles by several people who have blazed many miles of trail.
Heart & Sole
- A showcase of volunteers dedicated to working on the North Country National Scenic Trail. This column appears regularly in the North Star, the magazine of the North Country Trail Association, and is archived here with the hope of encouraging other volunteers.
Minutes
- Index of links to minutes from the NCTA Board of Director's recent meetings.
NPS Trail Construction and Maintenance Handbook
- The National Park Service has now digitized this book and put it on their web site. It is currently one large document which will be difficult for those with slow computers or dial-up service to deal with, but it is finally on-line. Hopefully it can be broken into more manageable pieces in the future.
