“These new members’ talents are a perfect match for our organization as we look to expand more of the trail in eastern North Carolina and communicate with the public, landowners, and community leaders in the region and statewide,” said Kate Dixon, executive director of the Friends of the MST.
Friends of the MST is a non-profit organization whose more than 1,000 volunteers are helping build and maintain a hiking trail that is 1,175 miles long from the Great Smoky Mountains to the Outer Banks. Nearly 700 miles are complete.
Friends of the MST is also instrumental in the start-up of the Coastal Crescent Trail, an alternative route for the MST in the east that traverses Johnston, Sampson, Cumberland, Bladen, Pender, Onslow and Craven counties
