Sometimes we do not give credit to our teens and their work efforts. In this case a 15yr old young lady, too young to vote or drive, successfully lead a pack string of horses and mules into and out of the wilderness carrying signs. The future is bright! #bmta #bcha #wilderness

The BMTA receives some great press coverage about its efforts to make the Benton MacKaye Trail the nation’s 12th National Scenic Trails. This federal designation could bring funding and resources to help protect and maintain the trail. #preservation #conservation #bmta
