PACIFIC CREST TRAIL ASSOCIATION
While many PCTA volunteers are the hardhat-clad outdoorsy types who visit rugged sections of the PCT to clear downed trees and repair damage, there is plenty of other important work volunteers do to protect, promote and preserve the trail. We’ve just updated the PCTA Volunteer Application to include volunteer opportunities such as administrative work, education and awareness, and media production (such as writing, editing, graphic design, and photography). If you’d like to offer your time and skills to the PCTA, follow the link and let us know!
