Description

Corridor monitors are volunteers who watch over A.T. lands. These volunteers function as the “eyes and ears” for their assigned section of A.T. corridor. The corridor is the permanent, protective buffer surrounding the A.T.; the boundary is the edge of the corridor. This property line demarcates where A.T. lands end and adjacent landowners’ properties begin.

Boundary maintainers perform the task of keeping the boundary well-marked and easy to follow both for A.T. volunteers and Trail neighbors. Volunteers can take on both monitoring and maintaining duties, in which case they are called corridor stewards.

Corridor monitoring and boundary maintenance are the first steps towards preventing encroachments, or catching them early enough to resolve them with a minimum of hardship. Find out more about corridor monitoring and boundary maintenance.
