Life Membership
Life Members are a very exclusive club and are special members of American Hiking Society. Because the dues you donate as a Life Member are leveraged through a special financial plan, Life Members' support allows American Hiking to go the extra mile in trail maintenance and trail building and speak even more loudly for hikers across America. As a Life Member you'll receive the following benefits:
• American Hiker delivered to your door year-after-year. Never a missed issue because you forgot to renew!
• Exclusive Life Membership Card and Life Member decal.
• Save a tree – no more renewal notices!
• Unless wishing to remain anonymous, you'll receive special recognition as a new Life Member in our Annual Report.
• And, as a very special thank you, an exclusive LEKI USA Life Member hiking pole.
