More about the ATLP and the 2026 Partnership Meeting 
The Appalachian Trail Conservancy and the National Park Service’s Appalachian National Scenic Trail Unit Office convene the ATLP to enable an expanded network of partners to better protect and connect the mosaic of forests, fields, farms, communities, parks, and trails that make up the A.T. Landscape. Together with dozens of other organizations, agencies, and regional conservation networks, the ATLP seeks to support ever more effective, inclusive, and collaborative partnerships to address trends that cause major impacts on the A.T. and its surrounding landscape’s natural beauty, biodiversity, ecological systems, cultural resources, and public access to outdoor recreation.  

The ATLP's Partnership Meeting is our yearly gathering that brings together national, regional, and local conservation organizations, local, Tribal, state, and federal government representatives, and economic, public health, and community development organizations with an interest in seeing people and nature connected across the A.T. Landscape. The 2026 Partnership Meeting is open to anyone that is invested in enhancing the mission of the ATLP. Each year we are excited to welcome new partners to both the ATLP and the Partnership Meeting.
