The North Country Trail Association values just, diverse, equitable, and inclusive trail experiences.
We are committed to these principles for everyone’s enjoyment of the North Country National Scenic Trail. We strive to better include those who experience barriers to trails by prioritizing equitable solutions to ensure all can connect to and care for the trail in a way that is meaningful for them. This program is fully funded by private donations.
