Since 1920, the New York-New Jersey Trail Conference has been building, maintaining, and protecting trails and caring for the lands they traverse. It’s thanks to the dedication of their volunteers and supporters that all of us who seek the outdoors can have safe, enjoyable experiences on more than 2,100 miles of trails in the greater New York metropolitan region.

The Connecticut Forest & Park Association (CFPA) is a member-based non-profit that has been connecting people to the land since 1895. CFPA connects people to Connecticut’s forests, parks, and Blue-Blazed Hiking Trails, and ensures these special places are protected and well-managed for future generations. CFPA inspires active, lifelong engagement with Connecticut’s abundant and well-managed forests, parks, and trails by building a vibrant and diverse conservation community.

The mission of the FLTC is “… to build, protect, enhance, and promote a continuous footpath across New York State. Forever!” The FLTC was founded in 1962. It works in cooperation with its members and various organizations to develop and maintain a premier hiking trail system in New York
