Clubs and Organizations

• Appalachian Trail Conservancy (ATC)
  The ATC is the umbrella organization responsible to the National Park Service (NPS) for organizing and supporting the various volunteer clubs (like our chapter) responsible for the trail.

  These folks publish the Thru-Hikers' Companion detailing trail information and services for hikers all along the A.T.
• Appalachian Mountain Club (AMC)
  Our chapter's parent organization, the AMC is responsible for over 1,600 miles of trails in the new England area. Chapters in New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, and Massachusetts are responsible for the A.T. in those states. Other Clubs not associated with the AMC are responsible for portions of the A.T. in Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine.
