Do You Care About Trails?

Dear Fellow Hiker,
 
If you’re reading this, odds are you’ve experienced some of your greatest days while hiking Pennsylvania’s trails. Think about one of those times. Think about how it broadened and enriched your world, how it changed you. Now imagine that it never happened.

If that alarms you, good. It’s time to act.     
 
Winter is hard on our trails. Storms cause everything from blowdowns to ruts to washed-out bridges to silt-filled water bars to leaning signposts. Every year we go through the cycle of maintaining our magnificent trail system only to see Mother Nature return it to a state of chaos.
            
Each spring, KTA trail crews and individual maintainers cut out the logs that have blown down, rebuild the washed-out trails, note the bridges that must be rebuilt, and perform the mandatory maintenance our trails need. Will you help KTA today?
 
We’re asking for your help. A monetary gift of any amount will be greatly appreciated, or you can gift your time and give back to our trails by  volunteering for trail care . Either way, your generosity will help KTA rebuild and rejuvenate our trails for the 2018 hiking season and beyond.

Sincerely,
​
Joe Neville
​Executive Director
