Following up on their successes from last spring, the Nantahala Hiking Club has completed another workshop to introduce hiking to classroom teachers. This project known as A Trail to Every Classroom is a joint project of the National Park Service, the Appalachian Trail Conservancy and their local trail and community partners. American Hiking Society supported this local effort with a National Trails Fund grant.

To learn more about this effort, you can visit the National Park Service's Trail to Every Classroom website. You can also click on the image above to launch a PDF version of an article that recently appeared in the Franklin Press.
