Washington Trails Association

Washington Trails Association (WTA) is a non-profit organization that advocates protection of hiking trails and wilderness, conducts trail maintenance, and promotes hiking in Washington state.

History

WTA first began with publishing Signpost, a grassroots magazine started in 1966 by the late guidebook author Louise Marshall. The late hiking guidebook author Ira Spring co-founded WTA, serving on its board of directors from 1982 until his death in 2003.[1] WTA still publishes a magazine for hikers, now under the name Washington Trails.[2] In 1993, WTA's former executive director, the late Greg Ball, launched the organization's volunteer trail maintenance program, completing just 250 hours of trail work on public lands.[3] In 2016, WTA logged 150,000 hours of trail maintenance by 4,700 volunteers on National Parks, National Forest, and state lands.

gollark: I mean, the zim format works okay, but if I was doing it I would save time and just make it a layer over SQLite.
gollark: HTML nodes are *basically* just a```ruststruct Html { name: String, attributes: Map<String, String>, children: Vec<Html>}```so I think that could be pretty compact.
gollark: I don't think so, fair point. It could be done in a VFS, but æ.
