  • Comment from the Pacific Northwest Trail Association to the Environmental Quality Council Thank You for the Opportunity to Addre
    Comment from the Pacific Northwest Trail Association to the Environmental Quality Council Thank you for the opportunity to address, for the record, a proposal to relocate the Pacific Northwest National Scenic Trail (“PNNST”). We are respectively the President and Executive Director of the Pacific Northwest Trail Association – originally formed in the 1970s to advocate for the designation of the PNNST. Since the PNNST was designated by Congress in 2009, we have focused on providing educational opportunities for youth and, in connection with the U.S. Forest Service, on working to maintain and improve the PNNST. In addition, we have participated in the Advisory Council empaneled by the Forest Service in 2015, to help in the preparation of a comprehensive management plan for the PNNST. We will likely participate again once the Advisory Council has been re-appointed. There has been some misinformation in the press of late about how the PNNST came to be designated by Congress. There was no ‘secret midnight rider.’ Rather, a bill to designate the PNNST was introduced in the Senate by Senators Cantwell and Murray on April 30, 2008. It was assigned to committee, and the appropriate subcommittee (with included, at the time, Montana’s then-junior senator) held a hearing on June 17, 2008. PNTA’s acting director testified in favor of the bill, and noted for the record letters of support from the then-mayor of Eureka, Montana, and the Tobacco Valley Backcountry Horsemen, among others. The bill was marked up in committee on September 11, 2008, and reported out of committee on September 16, 2008.

  • February 6, 2020 KATHY DECOSTER, ADVOCACY & POLICY DIRECTOR STATEMENT to the U.S
    February 6, 2020 KATHY DECOSTER, ADVOCACY & POLICY DIRECTOR STATEMENT TO THE U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES COMMITTEE ON APPROPRIATIONS SUBCOMMITTEE ON INTERIOR, ENVIRONMENT & RELATED AGENCIES Chair McCollum, Ranking Member Joyce and members of the subcommittee: The Partnership for the National Trails System is grateful for the opportunity to provide testimony today. We urge your continued support in the FY 2021 Interior, Environment and Related Agencies appropriations bill for investments in America’s National Trails System and for attention to specific needs of the 30 national trails administered by the National Park Service, the US Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management. This Subcommittee’s continued support for the various needs of the National Trails System in the FY 2020 bill is most appreciated and builds on efforts over the past 25 years to support trails that make up the system. We also appreciate your continuing efforts to increase appropriations for the Land and Water Conservation Fund as we work towards full funding and thank you for supporting LWCF investments in the trails. The National Trails System is a bold experiment in public/private collaboration for public benefit. While most of the trail making is done by tens of thousands of citizen stewards increased funding is needed to close gaps in these trails. To continue the progress that you have fostered with an increased investment in the National Trails System, the Partnership requests that you provide annual operations funding for each of the 30 national scenic and historic trails for Fiscal Year 2021 through these appropriations: • National Park Service: $17.014 million for administration of 23 trails and for coordination of the long-distance trails program by the Washington office.

  • Frequently Asked Questions ABOUT PNTA PERFORMANCE TRAIL CREWS
    Frequently Asked Questions ABOUT PNTA PERFORMANCE TRAIL CREWS What is a Performance Trail Crew? A PNTA Performance Trail Crew is a trail maintenance and construction team made up of 3–8 people led by an experienced crew leader and managed by the Pacific Northwest Trail Association. These seasonal employees are paid for their work, given on-the-job training and camp out near work sites on our public lands. Where do Performance Trail Crews work? Performance Trail Crews work on public lands on the Pacific Northwest National Scenic Trail (PNT) and adjacent trails. The PNT is a 1200-mile pathway between Glacier National Park in Montana, and Olympic National Park in Washington State. Crews may work anywhere on the PNT in Washington. Each crew typically serves a specific region, currently: Olympic Peninsula, Puget Sound and North Cascades, the Okanogan, and Northeast Washington. We look forward to hosting crews in Northern Idaho and Northwest Montana, too. Rendezvous locations may vary case-by-case, but crews typically report to a regional USFS/NPS or PNTA station. At this time there are PNTA stations in Sedro-Woolley (headquarters) and Kettle Falls, Washington. Where do crew members come from? Most crew members come from communities and schools near the PNT. While local residency is not required, the PNTA does not provide housing for out-of-area crew members during off-time, and only provides transportation between the work site and rendezvous sites in communities near the trail. How are Performance Trail Crews managed in the field? Two or more crew leaders provide 24-hour supervision of each Performance Trail Crew during workweeks.
