ATC (Appalachian Trail Conservancy)

The Appalachian Trail Conservancy (ATC) is a non-profit organization dedicated to protecting and maintaining the Appalachian Trail, a scenic hiking path that stretches over 2,190 miles from Georgia to Maine in the United States. Founded in 1925, the ATC works with volunteers, partners, and local communities to conserve the trail’s natural and cultural resources while promoting sustainable hiking practices. It provides resources for hikers, including maps and guides, and advocates for policies that support outdoor recreation and environmental stewardship. The ATC aims to ensure that the Appalachian Trail remains accessible and preserved for future generations.
