Showcase the North Country National Scenic Trail and inspire stewardship.
The mission of the North Country Trail Association 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. Use these resources and guidance for your outreach efforts to promote the Trail, the Association, and our Trail Community.
The NCTA Brand Standards + Style Guide was last updated in 2022.
Use of the official North Country Trail Association (NCTA) mark(s), Chapter logos, and other marketing materials is reserved solely for official NCTA Chapter use in promoting the Trail or with approval from the NCTA headquarters. Official marks may not be used outside of the NCTA for financial profit. Reference additional and specific policy in the NCTA Brand Standards + Style Guide document.
The North Country National Scenic Trail emblem is not to be used as an alternative to NCTA marks. Access to and use of these marketing materials is conditioned on your acceptance and compliance with this policy. The terms apply to all who access and/or use these marketing materials. The NCTA may revoke your access to and use of these marketing materials in the case of term infringement. The North Country National Scenic Trail (NCNST) emblem is for official use only. The National Park Service (NPS) has specific licensing regulations that require contracts/agreements to use and/or sell items that contain their images. Currently, the NCNST only allows the NCTA to create and sell products with official emblems and branding.
