| Description | In 1968, when Congress brought the 31-year-old Appalachian Trail under federal protection as part of the national park system, its management shifted from an informal alliance of private-citizen volunteers and public-agency leaders to a formal "cooperative management system" responsible for more than 2,000 miles of a backcountry footpath, destined for full public ownership more than 30 years later. This is the inside story of how the pieces of these still-evolving relationships were put together in the first two decades, by a Yale professor who served as chairman of a special advisory council for the secretary of the interior. |
