How To Support LMT
    Donate Money:

Donate money directly to the LMT Association to assist in office and administrative costs and supplies.

    Adopt A Trail (AAT):

Adopt A Trail (AAT) is our flagship program. The LMT stretches 440 km and needs all the support it can get. Trails need routine maintenance and upkeep to accommodate visitors and hikers. By adopting a trail, an individual or an organization will be sponsoring all the costs related to maintaining a section of the LMT for a period of at least two years. (There are 26 sections on the LMT). Maintenance includes the following:

  1. Directional signs from the nearest village to the trailhead

  2. Blazing on the trail (paint-based marks to orient hikers)

  3. Clearing (shrubs, fallen debris, etc.)

  4. Trail construction (in case erosion has damaged the trail)

The LMT can accommodate up to 26 sponsors at a time (one individual/organization for each section). Sponsors may choose to adopt more than one section.

    Sponsor an Event:

Sponsor an event along the trail (such as a festival, a Thru-walk etc...), educational visits and seminars held by the LMTA to promote and shed light on the function, role and purpose of the trail.

.

There are other ways that you can support the LMT:

  • Buy products produced near the trail to support local communities

  • Participate in walks organized by tour operators and NGO's

  • Contact local guides and hire them for sections of the trail

  • Join us on facebook

  • Or simply spread the word about the LMT in your circle of friends!
