Appalachian State U. Students as Maintainers

An article in the "Appalachian Online" publication of Appalachian State University, in Boone, North Carolina, brings us an article about a new trail maintainers' club at the school. It is written by Allison Casey, and titled "Appalachian students give back to local trails" in the 27 March 2007 edition.

"The Appalachian State Trail Crew, formed in spring 2005 by a group of student thru-hikers, works on building new trails and maintaining current ones around the Boone area."

The club has built 150 feet of trail at Elk's Knob. "The Appalachian Trail Crew also works with the Appalachian Trail, Grandfather Mountain and The Tennessee Eastman Hiking and Canoeing Club."
