⚠️ Federal Terminations Threaten the Appalachian Trail ⚠️

Our dedicated public lands partners deserve tremendous respect for the work they do for our national forests, parks, and trails. The recent 10% staff reduction at the U.S. Forest Service and 5% reduction at the National Park Service are threatening the very fabric of the A.T.’s cooperative management and compromising efforts to ensure a healthy, resilient and connected A.T. for millions of visitors during this hiking season and for years to come. Repairs to bridges, shelters, treadway, and natural resources—including those damaged by Hurricane Helene—will also be severely impacted. These terminations also weaken wildfire and emergency response at a time when wildfires are growing more destructive.

Read the full statement from our President & CEO, Sandi Marra: https://appalachiantrail.org/news/federal-terminations-to-impact-appalachian-trail/

Our public lands deserve better. Here's how you can take action for the A.T.:

📢 Tell your U.S. Senators, U.S. Representatives and the White House to reverse these firings and stop staff reductions outside the appropriations process.
🛠️ Volunteer to help maintain and protect the Trail.
💚 Donate to the ATC and Trail Clubs to ensure urgent Trail projects move forward.
