Ambassadors

   Hiker Trash Trail Maintenance is looking for a few AT alumni who are repeat offending this year to help us spread some info and lead some "as you thru hike" projects for us.
   We will be announcing what 2 of the projects are this coming Sunday Funday ( 01-31-16). But for now this is what we can tell you....

 What will be expected of our Ambassadors - 
The projects will take 10+ minutes a day during your hike to complete.
Be able to speak well with other hikers about the projects they are working on.
Our Ambassadors need to be able to act in a positive manner.
 (We are Hiker Trash so we don't expect you to be angels just act responsibly)
Post to our social media including pictures and videos of the projects.
 (along with some shameless plugs for sponsors)

 What "perks" do our Ambassadors get? 
Well first and foremost you get to make a positive impact on the trail!
Be a positive role model :)
Any tools/gadgets needed to complete projects.
and yes we are going to give you some free stuff too...

 We are currently working to get companies to donate things for us to offer as "rewards" for those making positive impacts on the trail (boxes of hiker trash goodness).
 So far we have the following companies who have donated and we are expecting more soon...
ZPacks

Fusion Jerky 
Justins Nut Butter
Dr Prices Vitamins
Big Tree Farms
simply 7 snacks
Jay Robb Protein
