Gina Fish welcomes you.
Here is a greeting from our Chapter Chair:

"Hi! Welcome to the North Florida Trailblazers chapter of the Florida Trail Association (FTA), a statewide nonprofit association. The purpose of the FTA is to build, maintain, and promote the Florida Trail, a 1300-mile hiking trail extending the length of Florida, and to support environmental awareness and outdoor activity. Visit FTA's website or follow the FTA on Facebook to learn more.

We host a variety of trail maintenance work parties for the Florida Trail and other local trails. No experience is necessary to participate. Equipment and safety gear is provided. We regularly host chapter meetings with activities and speakers of interest to hikers. Activity leaders announce all events on Meetup.

Check out our posted events. Use the Attend button to tell us if you plan to join us. Guests must be included in your RSVP. If you change your mind, change your RSVP so we can add someone from the waiting list.

Be sure and check out the "About Us" section on Meetup. If you are a member of another FTA Chapter, please let us know. Make sure your profile has your first and last name and a recent picture.

Suggestions? Come to one of our chapter meetings and share your ideas. We are also looking for a few enthusiastic Activity Leaders to complete training to guide hikes or kayaking trips, and we have other leadership positions as well.

Follow the FTA on Facebook to learn about the benefits of joining the statewide organization.
NOTE: Registration on this Meetup does not make you a member of the FTA. Some of our events will be offered only to members so please go to Join FTA to become a member. Your membership supports building and protection of the Florida National Scenic Trail and other hiking trails in our state.

Looking forward to meeting you soon!
Ron Fish
Chapter Chair"
