The American Hiking Society is a Maryland-based non-profit dedicated to preserving trails, the areas that surround them and the hiking experience. It was founded in 1976.

Programs

The American Hiking Society has three main avenues of action:

Volunteerism and Outreach including Volunteer Vacations, which began in 1978 ^[4] to mobilize volunteers to work on trail maintenance, and National Trails Day, which is held the first Saturday every June to spread awareness and celebrate hiking.
Policy and Advocacy: working with Congress to develop hiker-friendly legislation and various federal agencies on implementation.
Trail grants and assistance: the Society provides grants to local organizations for building and maintaining trails, providing nearly $50,000 of funding in 2007.^[5] Also, this organization heads up the Alliance of Hiking Organizations, a network of hiking and trail clubs from all over the country.
