A network of organizations working to maintain footpaths, conserve trail lands and protect the hiking experience makes up the Alliance. Members include hiking clubs, trail conferences, land trusts, conservation groups, and other organizations with an interest in hiking trails. By sharing information and working together on public policy, trail issues, membership, and other details, individual organizations become stronger and more knowledgeable.
