The nation's oldest long-distance hiking trail celebrates its 100th anniversary in 2010, and is right in step with a growing interest in hiking and outdoor activities. Vermonters are fortunate to have this readily accessible gateway to the great outdoors, and owe a debt of gratitude to the Green Mountain Club for the work it does to maintain the trail.
The Green Mountain Club (GMC).
GMC primarily cares for the Long Trail. Additionally, their advocacy and education efforts also safeguard Vermont's many other hiking trails. GMC volunteers and staff teach low-impact practices and safety skills that outdoor enthusiasts use whenever they hit the backwoods. Through its land protection program in northern Vermont, the Club has protected more than fifty-five miles of the Long Trail System and 16,000 acres of backcountry land.

They maintain the Long Trail in cooperation with the Vermont Department of Forests, Parks and Recreation , U.S. Forest Service , National Park Service, Appalachian Trail Conservancy and private landowners.
