Field lookout

Field editors


Volunteers are the backbone of the Companion. A field editor's responsibility is to gather information about the trail, shelters, water sources, post offices, lodging, hostels, groceries, restaurants, laundry, campgrounds, doctors or hospitals, veterinarians, outfitters, other Trail related services and points of interest along the trail, with the purpose of enhancing all hikers AT experience whether you're a day hiker, section hiker or thru-hiker.

We are looking for energetic field editors amenable to travel a section of trail and update the current information, verify hours of operation, note any changes in rates, and add any new information for inclusion in the 2010 edition. A Field Editor's visit creates good relations with the communities adjacent to the Trail.

Are you someone who is willing to go the extra mile? The Companion can always use your help. If you are interested in becoming a volunteer field editor or are willing to assist with the 2010 edition of the Companion, please contact the Companion editor, Robert "Sly" Sylvester, at hikertrash@gmail.com.
