SOUTHEASTERN FOOT TRAILS COALITION MISSION

At the core of the Southern Appalachians Initiative is a coalition of hiking clubs. The coalition members assist each other by, together, implementing a common vision of a southeast regional foot trail system that is fully walkable, supported by a strong cadre of volunteers and volunteer-based organizations, permanently protected, and well-know and loved beyond the core hiking community.

Here is a current list of our coalition members: Alabama Hiking Trail Society Alabama Trails Association ALDHA Appalachian Trail Conservancy Benton MacKaye Trail Association Carolina Mountain Club Chattanooga Hiking Club Cherokee Hiking Club Cumberland Trail Conference Florida Trail Association Foothills Trail Conference Friends of the Mountains to Sea Trail Georgia Appalachian Trail Club Georgia Bartram Trail Group Georgia Pinhoti Trail Association Kennesaw Mountain Trail Club Kentucky Trails Association Hiwassee Hiking Club Mountain High Hikers Nantahala Hiking Club NE Georgia Mountain Hiking Club North Carolina Bartram Trail Society Palmetto Conservation Foundation-Palmetto Trails Pine Mountain Trail Conference Potomac Appalachian Trail Club Rivanna Trails Foundation Smoky Mountains Hiking Club Tennessee Eastman Hiking and Canoeing Club Tennessee Trails Association Virginia Creeper Trail Club
