I grew up close to the Appalachian Trail and that’s where my first ever backpacking trip took place.
Long story short, that trip sparked within me a passion for both the AT and of backpacking.
Now, I feel it is my mission is to inspire a love of the Appalachian Trail in the next generation so it can be here for years to come.
Why we should inspire a love of the AT in children:
Protect the trail itself and the wonderful and unique views
Keep it wild
Inspire future volunteers and stewards
Preserve this piece of history
Allow future generations to walk the same path
How we can inspire a love of the AT:
Share personal stories, pictures, and the importance of the trail
Share its rich history
