About [Edit]
This Chapter is responsible for developing and maintaining the North Country National Scenic Trail north of Newago County to the north border of the Manistee National Forest in Michigan's Lower Peninsula.
Mission:
The mission of the North Country Trail Association is to develop,maintain, preserve and promote the North Country National Scenic Trail through a national network of volunteers, chapters, partner organizations and government agencies.
The Association achieves its mission by creating, encouraging and supporting programs of public education, membership services, recreational opportunities and resource and corridor protection in keeping with its Vision for the Trail.
VISION:
Our vision for the North Country Trail is that of a premier footpath of national significance, offering a superb experience for hikers in a permanantly protected corridor, traversing and interpreting the richly diverse environmental, cultural, and historic features of the northern United States.
To meet this vision, our goals are for the trail to become:
- A continuous hiking trail of the highest caliber with foot travel accorded the highest priority to the exclusion of other uses except in short, specifically designated sections.
- A corridor of consistently and clearly marked treadways, blending with local character as appropriate and permanently protected, whenever possible, as a public hiking trail.
- Unique among National Trails in showcasing the rich variety of historical, cultural, and environmental features in the northern United States.
- A model of resource protection and quality recreational opportunity of national significance with emphasis on identifying, interpreting and promoting features for educational and recreational benefit.
- An example of highly successful partnerships among the various entities providing funding, management of and service to the trail.
The North Star is a quarterly magazine, published by the Association.
Membership in the NCTA will bring this outstanding publication to your
