Noticed some changes on the PNTA social media recently? 🤔 That’s because there’s a new communications manager at the PNTA! My name is Abs Evans and I was drawn to this position after thru-hiking the Appalachian Trail in 2023 and the Pacific Crest Trail in 2024. Once I walked to Washington, I never wanted to leave. (I loved the moss and trees too much.) I wanted to use my skills to advocate for the land I had come to love during my thru-hikes. As a Communications Manager for the Pacific Northwest Trail, I am able to use my creative abilities to support the trail’s conservation in the beautiful and wild state I can now call home. 🌿🏔️ #nationalscenictrail #pnw #pacificnorthwesttrail (fb)

🎶Please let this be a normal field trip… With the PNTA? No way!🎶 Last week, the West Michigan Academy of Environmental Science helped out with some volunteer trail maintenance on the Baker Lake section of the PNT. The students traversed log bridges, cleared brush and logs from the trail and even rebuilt a retaining wall — through rain or shine. Thanks WMAES! 🪚🌳 (fb)
