What we’re about
We are the westernmost chapter of The Florida Trail Association. Our chapter maintains the sections of the Florida National Scenic Trail located in Escambia and Santa Rosa counties. In addition to trail maintenance, we also love to hike and get involved in other outdoor activities. We hope you will join us at any of our many hiking and maintenance activities held throughout the year. We encourage you to post your photos and videos taken at these events. We regularly share these photos and videos with the Western Gate chapter website and FTA social media.
The Western Gate Chapter of the Florida Trail Association established its Meetup group for the purpose of scheduling and advertising its trail maintenance, hiking, paddling, and camping activities. Meetup allows members to communicate directly with other members, have group discussions, post photos, and leave comments on an event’s page. It is the policy of the Western Gate Chapter that such communications shall be limited to the stated purpose of the Florida Trail Association (see floridatrail.org), events posted by the Western Gate Chapter, and related activities (hiking, paddling, camping). The Western Gate Chapter wants all of our Meetup group’s members to feel comfortable as part of this group and not be subject to any communications that might be considered inappropriate. Members who receive inappropriate messages are encouraged to report them to the group’s organizers.
