Green Mountain Club
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Green Mountain Club and its members from across the country preserve and protect the Long Trail System. The Club's advocacy and education efforts also protect Vermont's many other hiking trails. Through its land protection program in northern Vermont, the Club has protected more than fifty-five miles (89 km) of the Long Trail System and 16,000 acres (65 km²) of backcountry land.
The Green Mountain Club maintains the Long Trail in cooperation with the Vermont Department of Forests, Parks and Recreation, U.S. Forest Service, National Park Service, Appalachian Trail Conference, and private landowners.
Club chapters, called "sections" — since they maintain sections of the Long Trail and its side trails — are located throughout the state.
