Crew is something different! Created in 2005 to meet the demands of maintaining the Appalachian Trail in the deep backcountry of the Smokies, the S.W.E.A.T. Crew is comprised of folks just like you who get together and protect this great American legacy.<br /><br />Go on a S.W.E.A.T. Crew trip and you might clear blowdowns with cross-cut saws, repair sections of damaged trail, or complete any number of tasks vital to the health of the Appalachian Trail. </div><div></div><br /><div>The A.T. is the first National Scenic Trail, a legacy of wilderness for future generations and because we're lucky enough to have it in our back yard, it's our responsibility to make sure that travelers on the A.T. from all over the world have a great experience. </div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1440493328502448211-7230104270999404936?l=sweatcrew.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>S.W.E.A.T.

Crew season works for a week at a time, camping and working on the trail in the summer (see 2010 dates on the right), a great oppurtunity for college students!<br /><br />The S.W.E.A.T. Club is for folks who have an interest in year-round stewardship. Plan a trip on your schedule with your freinds and new faces.<br /><br />Drop an e-mail to Andrew at<span style="TEXT-DECORATION: underline"> </span><a href="mailto:adowns@appalachiantrail.org">adowns@appalachiantrail.org</a> and let him know you are interested.<br /><br />Together, we'll determine how you want to help and start you on the right path. You could personally adopt a section of the Appalachian Trail or sign up for a SWEAT Crew session and live the job for a week.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1440493328502448211-3798052456314692682?l=sweatcrew.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>S.W.E.A.T.
