Partnership for the National Trails System
The Partnership for the National Trails System connects PCTA with other trail organizations across the country. Collectively, we share resources and expertise, combining our efforts to further the mission of securing “the protection, completion, and stewardship of the 30 National Scenic and Historic Trails within the National Trails System.” PCTA plays a leadership role in the Partnership.
