Nonprofit Overview

Mission: The mission of the Green Mountain Club is to make the Vermont mountains play a larger part in the life of the people by protecting and maintaining the Long Trail System and fostering, through education, the stewardship of Vermont's hiking trails and mountains.
Programs: The club operates to conserve, protect, and ensure the continued viability of the long trail, appalachian trail through vermont, and northeast kingdom trails. Operations are in place to develop and maintain the trails, shelters, and structures that are a part of the trails system. The club also engages and educates users of the trails and works to protect natural resources and the rare and endangered plants of vermonts alpine zone. The club continues to blend the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and a small dedicated staff to cooperate with agency partners and vermonts business community to provide a world-class hiking resource for public use by all who visit the green mountains. Additionally, the club seeks to ensure that all lands acquired for the protection of the long trail and appalachian trail in vermont are actively monitored and properly maintained. Our 70 volunteer monitors oversee 35,000 acres of land and ensure that the boundaries are properly maintained and the lands are regularly visited to help deter encroachments and uphold the conservation values these lands were acquired for. In fy14, the club completed 30 miles of boundary reclamation along the appalachian trail corridor.
