CLEAN TRAILS DAY!
Plan for the Day:
Trail workers are asked to help staff the Clean Trails Day event tents to acquaint our guests with the importance of using the Leave No Trace (LNT) principles when out on the trail and to promote joining one of BMTA’s sponsored hikes and/or participating in a BMTA work trip on the Benton MacKaye Trail.
