February is Membership Month at the GDTA!
Are you a member of the GDTA? If you are, then from the bottom of our hearts: THANK YOU! By being one of the 600+ members, you help us demonstrate that there are passionate people that love the GDT and want to see it maintained and protected.
There are lot of great things coming up, and we want to thank our members by offering a little something back for your dedication:
- First dibs to sign up for our annual Trail Maintenance Trips. These will be open for signups on our website in just a few short days. Stay tuned for a blast-out on our Instagram channel, or on our website.
- BIG NEWS: We’re almost set to launch a brand new Wall Poster Map for the GDT! We want to release this with a bang, and we thought the best way would be to reward some of our members. Take a look at the teaser photo. A few lucky members (drawn randomly on March 1 from all active members) will be sent a full-size GDT Wall Poster Map in the mail. These won’t be available for general purchase for a while yet, and when they are, members are going to get first crack at them.
Not already a member?
We hope you’ll consider signing up this month. Membership is not just for people hiking the GDT. Sure, there are the awesome Membership Benefits. But if you love the GDT, the idea of the GDT, or even just natural spaces that are protected, then becoming a GDTA member is one of the best things you can do.
Our members believe in the GDTA’s mission to preserve our mountain wilderness. In fact, we have members that have joined the GDTA solely for this reason. You don’t need to be a hiker, past hiker, or equestrian to believe in this mission – anyone can. By joining the GDTA your presence in our growing, organized, and visible community translates into public demand for wilderness preservation that is recognized by decision makers through the GDTA’s advocacy efforts. In other words, there is strength in numbers. Your GDTA membership adds to this strength and so helps preserve the precious Canadian Rocky Mountain wilderness.
Did you know that our membership numbers are an important demonstration to Parks Canada, Provincial Parks, Grant Providers, and Corporate Sponsors of how important it is to protect and preserve the GDT? The more members we have, the more they take notice.
and help protect this National Treasure!
