Title
Appalachian Mountain Club - New York-North Jersey Chapter
Description
for 2010
The Appalachian Mountain Club, or AMC, is a non-profit association of people, primarily living in the northeastern United States, who are devoted to the conservation, appreciation, and responsible use of the natural resources of our world. AMC people deeply love and enjoy the forests, mountains, rocks, trails, rivers and other waters of the Appalachian region, and are vitally interested in preserving them for future generations to enjoy. Many of our members become very skillful in the responsible enjoyment of one or more of these natural resources, enthusiastically teach those skills to others, and encourage them to practice the best ways of protecting and preserving those resources.
The AMC was founded in Boston in 1876 by a few university professors to foster activities such as exploration, mapping, scientific studies, trail building and art. The need to protect the mountains began to be discussed a decade or so later. Over the years, those early beginnings have grown into a major organization that consists of a moderate paid staff in Boston and nearly 100,000 members, most of whom are affiliated with one of our 12 regional Chapters, from Maine to Virginia.
The Club joins with many other organizations to support major conservation efforts such as the preservation of the Northern Forest Lands of northern New England, Sterling Forest in New York, developing greenways, and many other projects. The AMC also works to encourage and guide governments and legislators to adopt and enforce conservation and environmentally sensitive policies and regulations.
