Did you know that the KTA is a membership-based organization? Since 1956, we have depended on contributions from hikers and hiking trail advocates like you to help us achieve our mission of providing, preserving, protecting, and promoting recreational hiking trails and hiking opportunities in Pennsylvania.
The KTA extends a warm welcome to our newest members! Thank you for joining Pennsylvania’s only statewide hiker advocacy organization: Nancy Decker, John Doherty, Denise Erich, Suzie Fortin, Sam Fortna, Dan Glass, Mitchell Goist, Erica Holes Hammel, Laurie Krofft, Jenny Litz, Timothy Lynch, John Norbeck, Susan Roese, Dawn Schoenenberger, Angela Snyder, Jed Soyka, Andrew Thomas, Shane Thompson, Andrew Weidman, and Charles Wible.
The KTA relies heavily on its members’ dues and contributions for funding its work on Pennsylvania’s hiking trails. Although hiking may seem free, hiking trails are not the work of Mother Nature—they’re built and maintained by men and women who care enough about hiking to devote their precious free time to ensure hikers everywhere can benefit from the trails. Each year, hundreds of volunteers contribute thousands of hours to building and preserving trails throughout the state. Volunteer programs, such as the KTA’s Trail Crew, depend partly on financial support from people like you so that our committed volunteers can continue to keep your favorite trails accessible and safe. Join the KTA today for only $15—and make a difference in your neck of Penn’s Woods!
