We're excited to be celebrating our Trail Care Program's 40th Anniversary this year, a huge milestone for the whole organization! KTA maintains hiking trails across the entire state of Pennsylvania. We invite you to join us for a trail care event near you, or use it as an opportunity to explore a new trail or state park!
