The Appalachian Trail and the other footpaths we
enjoy in Central Pennsylvania,
wouldn’t
exist without the volunteers who maintain them.
SATC coordinates the efforts of individual volunteers
who care specifically for assigned footpath sections.
Scheduled group activities occur in the spring,
summer, and fall.
These group activities are announced on this web page when scheduled
quarterly with other Club activities,
and also by e-mail direct from the Club's Trailmaster to Club member
and other volunteers
who have indicated a specific interest or who have
previously participated in SATC's maintenance activities.

Trailmaster and add your name to the alert list!

Join SATC members for a half-day work trip to remove overgrowth of weeds
and brush, free lunch, a tour of the new A.T. MUSEUM, and a short hike
