KTA ANNOUNCES 2011 TRAIL CARE PROGRAM
One of the most important and rewarding aspects of involvement with the Keystone Trails Association is the opportunity to help maintain Pennsylvania's hiking trails.
The KTA Trail Care program offers interested volunteers three types of "hands on" trail work opportunities - one-day Code Orange Trail Care events, Trail Care weekends and Trail Crew weeks. No prior experience is necessary. Volunteers of all ages are encouraged to attend. Tools, safety equipment, gloves, conviviality and mentoring provided. Volunteers are responsible for bringing all personal camping gear.
Please visit www.kta-hike.org for the complete Trail Care schedule.
PA HIKING WEEK CELEBRATES TENTH YEAR
The Keystone Trails Association and the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) are proud to sponsor the tenth annual Pennsylvania Hiking Week.
This year's hiking week is scheduled for Saturday, May 28 through Sunday, June 5, which coincides with the Memorial Day weekend and National Trails Day (Saturday, June 4).
The statewide event promotes Pennsylvania’s amazing network of hiking trails in state parks, state forests and communities throughout the commonwealth. The nine-day event typically features more than 100 organized hikes and walks throughout Pennsylvania.
KTA thanks our local hiking clubs for organizing hikes and for providing hike leaders. Let’s work to make the tenth Pennsylvania Hiking Week the best one yet!
Please consider scheduling a hike during Pennsylvania Hiking Week to feature your local trails. Look for additional information in the May 2011 Newsletter or contact ktaadmin@verizon.net for details.
