The NCTA is dedicated to providing our volunteers with the most comprehensive and accurate information needed to build, maintain and promote the North Country Trail.
Our Chapter Leadership Handbook is the go-to document for anyone interested in a leadership position within the NCTA, but this page is packed with information for all volunteers, from Chapter President to Trail Adopter to Landowner.
The National Park Service Volunteer-In-Parks (VIP) program provides volunteer recognition and protections. Follow these steps to become a VIP.
Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Statement
The North Country Trail Association encourages all its Chapters to use the following statement of Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (JEDI) wherever applicable. This statement was approved by the NCTA Board of Directors in December 2020.
The North Country Trail Association [insert chapter name here] 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.
