Trails Volunteer of the Month Awards

The Trails Volunteer of the Month Award is given to recognize the outstanding efforts of our Trails Volunteers from D.C to Maine each month of the field season.

We present these awards April through October or November each year. Nominations are accepted year round.

If you work on the trails with an individual that goes above and beyond the call of duty, please acknowledge their contributions by e-mailing your nomination to the AMC Trails Staff nearest to you.
