Mission Statement
The New York-New Jersey Trail Conference is a federation of member clubs and individuals dedicated to providing recreational hiking opportunities in the region and representing the interests and concerns of the hiking community. The Conference is a volunteer-directed public service organization committed to: Developing, building, and maintaining hiking trails; Protecting hiking trail lands through support and advocacy; and Educating the public in the responsible use of trails and the natural environment.
About This Cause
Nearly a century ago when hikers and nature enthusiasts blazed the first section of Appalachian Trail, they set in motion a rich tradition of civic engagement in conservation, stewardship and advocacy for open spaces—the New York-New Jersey Trail Conference. Now encompassing a network of over 2,000 miles of trails throughout greater metropolitan New York, the Trail Conference is a coalition that includes 100 clubs and 10,000 individual members dedicated to one purpose: creating, protecting and promoting the nation’s finest network of foot trails in a major metropolitan area. Hiking is more than a walk in the woods, especially in a densely populated region. Trails and the lands they traverse require care, responsible use, and vigorous support by the people who enjoy them. As the leading trail organization in the region, our volunteers help public agencies provide safe and responsible public access to open space stretching from the Delaware Water Gap north to beyond the Catskills. Our nationally acclaimed hiking books and maps are your guide to some of the most remarkable trails in the country. Our passion for connecting people with nature connects you to a vast array of resources for year-round outdoor activities. Don’t take trails for granted, join the NY-NJ Trail Conference today.
