Since 1876, the Appalachian Mountain Club (AMC) has made it our mission to protect the mountains, forests, waters, and trails you love in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions. We envision a world where our natural resources are healthy, loved, and always protected, and where the outdoors occupies a place of central importance in every person’s life. We encourage you to experience, learn more, and appreciate the outdoors knowing that your participation supports the conservation and stewardship of the natural world around you. AMC is inspired by the untold diversity of our members and friends. We aim to be an inclusive, equitable, and kind community.
