Chapter and Affiliate Leaders: It’s time to collect our accomplishments and stories to celebrate the work done on the Trail in 2020. This information contributes to both our annual Trail Progress Report and to the State of the Trail issue of the North Star magazine. Your input helps further illustrate the collective efforts on the NCT and allows you to share your accomplishments with the entire NCT community. Submit your report today.
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.
