Appalachian Mountain Club

Organizational Summary

The Appalachian Mountain Club (AMC) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to connecting people to the outdoors. Founded in 1876, AMC is the nation’s longest serving conservation and recreation organization. Protecting natural resources and outdoor experiences from Maine to Virginia drives everything we do. Our overarching priorities include understanding and addressing climate change; protecting land, air, and water; and creating and caring for trails to foster access to the outdoors.

AMC’s expertise in trail construction, campsite planning and management, and mapping services reflects more than a century of experience. We pair the most current understanding of sustainable trail design with techniques that we’ve honed and refined for trails throughout the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic. AMC provides a wide range of professional trail building services to all land managers and landowners, from bridge construction and campsite development to trail maintenance, design, and planning. Whether it’s front country or backcountry work, our AMC professional crews can help you complete your project.

The Appalachian Mountain Club’s Trail Training Program delivers hands-on trail maintenance training and professional trail skills workshops at AMC sites across the Northeast, and on-site with partner agencies. Through events like AMC’s Trail Skills College and youth-focused programs, AMC is growing a knowledgeable, connected trail community—equipping the next generation of stewards with the tools to care for the outdoors.
