  • TAKE JOY in the OPEN TRAIL 2019 ANNUAL REPORT Dear Members and MST Enthusiasts
    Friends of the Mountains-to-Sea Trail TAKE JOY IN THE OPEN TRAIL 2019 ANNUAL REPORT Dear Members and MST Enthusiasts: Little did we know in 2019 what 2020 would bring. A pandemic erupted. By March events were cancelled, and the Governor had issued an order that required people to socially distance. At that time of fear and uncertainty, people looked to nature for solace, and the MST was there to help. The MST is there because of the steady commitment of thousands of people over many years – people who give, volunteer and advocate. And 2019 was no exception. It was an extraordinary year of progress – and joy – on the MST. The MST extends 1,175 miles across North Carolina from Clingmans Dome in the Smokies to Jockey’s Ridge on the Outer Banks. It now includes more than 720 miles of footpath, and about 455 miles of connector roads linking trail segments. Each year, Friends of the MST and its partners press toward the goal of a continuous linear park of natural wonders spanning North Carolina. In 2019, Friends of MST members came together to learn about and celebrate the trail in March and again in September, and our trail crews worked hard and fast to reopen trail damaged by the fierce hurricanes of 2018. Miles of new trail opened – extending the longest continuous off-road section to 361 miles and adding the first trail in parts of the state where none had been built before. Thanks to a generous grant from the Duke Energy Foundation, Friends was able to hire a landscape architect to focus full-time on building new trail in the Coastal Plain.
