MISSION STATEMENT AND BY-LAWS
The major purpose of the our chapter of the North Country Trail Association is specifically to build, maintain and promote the North Country National Scenic Trail in Lawrence and Beaver Counties in the State of Pennsylvania.  Ancillary to the Chapter’s main purpose, yet not independent of it, will be the promotion of safe and sound outdoor activities, the fostering of fellowship amongst members, respect for our natural heritage and the encouragement of member participation in all aspects of the Chapter’s activities.  To find out more on the actual operations of the chapter, click here see a copy of the Chapter By-laws.
