The Appalachian Trail Conservancy (ATC) is pleased to announce that it will be developing a Tribute Garden at its headquarters in historic Harpers Ferry, West Virginia.

The garden will be a permanent public memorial honoring those who have walked on, helped protect, or been inspired by the A.T. For hikers and guests alike, it will be a lovely and tranquil space to savor the morning sun or evening breeze while taking in the views of the surrounding Blue Ridge Mountains. It will also be a space where loved ones, volunteers, members, hikers and staff can be celebrated and remembered. And it will serve as a beautiful and fitting place to commemorate the generosity of donors who support the ATC’s legacy and future. Brick sales will begin in summer 2017 in preparation for the garden’s groundbreaking in fall 2017.

For more information or to order an engraved brick to be placed in the garden for yourself or a loved one visit: appalachiantrail.org/TributeGarden
