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!

Workers NEEDED for impromptu work trips!
Between ice storms,
hurricanes,
and sometimes even unusually good weather for ongoing projects,
your help is needed for more than what's listed here.
Please consider giving the Club Trailmaster your name so he can call on you as needed.
Call Jeff Buehler, 717 657-8281
Ironmaster's Mansion Hostel needs your help
Recent budget cutbacks and the poor economy have devastated
the funds needed to keep the hostel alive and serving the hiking community.
Located in Pine Grove Furnace State Park, just a short drive from the Harrisburg
area, it has provided low-cost overnight stays and space available for meetings,
workshops, and parties since its debut as a hostel in 1982.
We are in desperate need of not only donations, but also volunteers
to do the many tasks that range the gamut for this historic treasure of
the trail.
To volunteer or make reservations, please contact the hostel at:
717 486-7575.
Please help save this important treasure of our area before it's too
late!
