Trails and Shelters Adoptions

[In 2004] 150 volunteers, sections and at-large members and nonmembers alike, adopted 112 miles of trail and 49 shelters as part of the GMC Trail and Shelter Adopter Program. Volunteer adopters work independently to do inspections, basic maintenance, and cleanup. [GMC website Trail Maintenance page]
