Organization

The Great Eastern Trail Association is formed

In August of 2007 a new organization was incorporated under Virginia law to manage and promote the Great Eastern Trail. Consisting of representatives from the nine states through which the trail passes, it is comprised of volunteers from trail organizations that are working to complete the trail.

The Association is affiliated with American Hiking Society, the Southeastern Foot Trails Coalition, and the Mid-Atlantic Foot Trails Coalition, and it has the support of the National Park Service, Rivers and Trails Conservation Assistance. It is applying for Federal non-profit status.
