The Trail
About Us
- - - The mission of the North Country Trail Association (NCTA) is to develop, maintain, protect and promote the North Country National Scenic Trail as the premier hiking path across the northern tier of the United States through a trail-wide coalition of volunteers and partners. The NCTA is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that partners with the National Park Service to unite individuals, affiliated trail groups, local Chapters, corporate sponsors and others linked in support of building and maintaining the North Country Trail and telling its story.
Our Work
- - - The day-to-day operations of the North Country Trail Association provide valuable administrative, planning, and volunteer resources to build, maintain, protect and promote the North Country National Scenic Trail. Guided by a Board of Directors who set policy and program direction and provide fiduciary oversight, staff members provide direct support to Chapter volunteers so they can more effectively and safely accomplish their work.
Giving & Membership
- - - Celebrate being part of the North Country National Scenic Trail’s history and become part of its future. The beauty and spirit of the Trail is something we cannot afford to lose. Join, renew, or give a gift membership; make a gift today; become a member of the Founders Circle; become a sustaining donor; leave a legacy; sponsor the Trail or an event; double your impact with a corporate match. Support the Trail, support the work.
Volunteer
- - - The North Country Trail Association and the Trail itself exist because of robust, impressive and dedicated volunteerism. Thousands of volunteers build, maintain, protect and promote the North Country Trail every day, and the Association strives to provide the best resources to the volunteers. Nearly 30 Chapters and multiple Affiliate organizations are established across the eight Trail states, constantly hosting work days, group hikes and more. There are countless opportunities to get involved.
