Benton MacKaye Trail Assn. - Membership Information

Benton MacKaye
Trail Assn.

Membership Information

"...leaving a footpath for generations to follow."

Why should you join the BMTA or renew your membership?

To be a part of the trail effort. Your membership helps the organization move forward in its mission to maintain, protect and improve the Benton MacKaye Trail. Without BMTA members, there would be no trail.

Some generous donors give one-time gifts for such things as tool purchase, right-of-way acquisition (to move the few remaining road walks into the woods), or to the general fund. These gifts are appreciated and they do help the BMTA succeed. But what really drives the BMTA is members.

Remember that as you join and remain a member, you're supporting the trail and working together with the people who keep it open.

To Join

Open the membership form, print it, fill out and mail in with your check to the address given on the form. (Sorry, we don't take credit cards yet.) Membership forms are also available on the end panel of the current BMTA brochure.
