Volunteers are the life blood of our organization, however the organization requires financial support to accomplish its goals. You may also become an official member of the Green Mountain Club and help protect one of Vermont's prime assets for the present and future generations. A portion of your donation goes to support the outreach of the Bennington Sectio

The Green Mountain Club is supported by 9,000+ members who all share the goal of protecting and maintaining these resources and encouraging outdoor recreation.

A membership is a monthly or yearly, tax-deductible donation that supports the protection and maintenance of 500+ miles of Vermont trails. Your membership ensures the long-term upkeep of the Long Trail, its side trails, the Northeast Kingdom Trails, and the Appalachian Trail in Vermont. It also fosters a community of lifelong hikers and adventurers.
