VOLUNTEER SPOTLIGHT!!

“If you enjoy hiking, trail building is a great way to appreciate all the hard efforts it takes to create a high quality CTC grade foot path. The trail work can be physically demanding but the sense of accomplishment at the end of a day is fulfilling.”
-Rita Senko

Meet Joe Matlock and Rita Senko. This dynamic duo has been volunteering with us since the late 1990s and learned about CTC through the TTA (Tennessee Trails Association) Plateau Chapter. They have particularly enjoyed working with college students during our annual Alternative Spring Break trail building program.

Joe and Rita both enjoy hiking and love the idea of a trail network in our “backyard”. They fully support the vision of completing a through trail on the Cumberland Plateau for everyone to access this beautiful part of the world.
