The mission of the Pacific Crest Trail Association is to protect, preserve and promote the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail as a world-class experience for hikers and equestrians, and for all the values provided by wild and scenic lands.
Congress designated the Pacific Crest Trail as one of the nation’s first National Scenic Trails in 1968. Stretching 2,650 miles from Mexico to Canada, the PCT follows the crests of major mountain ranges through California, Oregon and Washington.
Founded in 1977 to preserve Congress’ original vision of the trail, the Pacific Crest Trail Association is the natural outgrowth and merger of smaller organizations dating back to the 1930s. Our programs are rooted in our mission to protect, preserve and promote the Pacific Crest Trail as a world-class experience for hikers and equestrians, and for all the values provided by wild and scenic lands.
Core program areas –
Trail Maintenance: The PCT requires constant effort to keep it safe and passable. The PCTA takes the lead in organizing, training and supporting the work of volunteer trail maintainers.
Land Protection: Approximately 10 percent of the trail remains on private land with little in place to help protect the trail experience for future generations. The PCTA works with landowners, public agencies, conservation organizations and local communities in a cooperative effort to protect land for the trail.
Trail protection: Trail protection activities include efforts to limit negative impacts on the trail experience from development, timber harvesting and other resource extraction activities.
Trail Information: The PCTA serves as a primary resource for information about the PCT.
Major Responsibilities of Board Members:
Latinos LEAD promotes more inclusive and effective civil society organizations by preparing and recruiting Latinos for nonprofit board leadership; helping nonprofit organizations to develop governing boards that reflect their constituents; and, collaborating with partners to increase ethnic diversity in nonprofit governance.
