Friends of the Mountains-to-Sea Trail's mission is to bring together communities and volunteers to build the Mountains-to-Sea Trail, a simple footpath connecting North Carolina’s natural treasures for the enjoyment and education of people.

Trail Building and Maintenance – hundreds of FMST volunteers build and maintain trail across the state.

Education – we spread the word to people who love trails and North Carolina – citizens, companies, government officials – and help them find ways to use, care for and extend the trail.

Acquisition of New Trail Corridor – we work with State Parks, local governments and nonprofit land trusts to help them acquire more land to build new sections of trail.

Advocacy – we help elected officials – local, state and federal – understand the value of the trail for recreation, quality of life, the economy and environment. We explain how our governments can help make it happen.

Fundraising – we encourage individuals and corporations to contribute financially to support the trail.

Please join us to build and care for the trail.
