Welcome to the Maine Appalachian Trail Club

where volunteers and trail enthusiasts maintain and manage
267 miles of the Appalachian Trail in Maine.
A mission we’ve been carrying out since 1935.

Join MATC – We work hard, but always remember to have fun!

Volunteer opportunities range from back-country trail building to carpentry to computer database entry. Trail-building projects offer unique opportunities to meet new people, work as a team and experience the A.T. and surrounding vistas with new appreciation. Corridor Monitors get off the A.T. footpath and explore incredibly beautiful areas rarely seen.

There are many ways to be a part of the MATC - Check out our worktrip schedule
