The club now manages more than 1,200 miles of hiking trails in the Mid-Atlantic region, along with cabins, shelters, and hundreds of acres of conserved land. More than 20 volunteers work with PATC in Prince William Forest Park. They help maintain 37 miles of trails. PATC volunteers help construct trail bridges and new trails. |
