The Green Mountain Club (GMC) primarily cares for the Long Trail. Additionally, GMC's advocacy and education efforts help to safeguard Vermont's many other hiking trails. Our volunteers & staff teach low-impact practices & safety skills that outdoor enthusiasts use whenever they hit the backwoods.
Benefits of Membership:
At-Large Membership: Members support the mission of the club and general operations.
