Start a Mile Zero Trail Association (MZTA) Chapter Organization

Chapter Organizations are the foundation of the organization - guiding operation of Mile Zero Trail Association and future trail conservancies, as well as determining the weight given to local programming. They will be represented and shape organization policies during annual conferences.

Chapter Organizations will help consider the best path for interest, enjoyment and safety, and advocate for various lodging solutions for trail visitors. They will provide recreationists and tourists with information about the area surrounding their chapter location. Chapter Organizations will produce events for their communities and provide educational programs. And they may even work toward larger projects to serve their communities and trail users.

Volunteers organize committees that establish Chapter Organizations. They should be relative to one of the trail projects, being based on or near the trail route, but they may also be formed and dedicated to a project, such as building a camp or other facility, achieving a goal like a park or trail right-of-way, or providing scholarships for students.
