Vermont Long Trail Patrol

Experience life on the Long Trail. Sponsored jointly by the Green Mountain Club and ATC, the Vermont Long Trail Patrol works on heavy construction projects on hiking trails in Vermont, including the coaligned Appalachian Trail and Long Trail.

The experiences of working together, learning new skills and backcountry living make an unbeatable combination of fun. No experience is necessary, but you must be 18 years or older. The Appalachian Trail Conservancy provides training, equipment, and room and board. Crews will travel to primitive backcountry sites from Base camp.
