Recent reporting from NHPR’s Todd Bookman takes a closer look at our current reconstruction work on the Old Bridal Path in cooperation with the Franconia Ridge Partnership.

Lizzie Johnson and Lauren Tierney’s collaboration on a long-form, interactive piece in the Post highlights our ongoing 10-mile relocation of the Appalachian Trail near Palmerton, PA.

Why the famed Appalachian Trail keeps getting longer — and harder. As America has transformed, so too has its celebrated footpath. Less than half the A.T. remains where it was originally laid.

Our Work.

TFC, LLC excels in meeting three important needs: efficient trail maintenance, high-quality backcountry trail reconstruction, and the creation of new trails. We provide scalable stone and timber solutions for deteriorating backcountry trails, and pride ourselves on the longevity and timeless beauty of our work. Our critical annual maintenance keeps the trail networks we love accessible. The new trails we build are made to be used for generations to come.

  • Our new trail design and construction services take your project from flagging to finished trail. We design our trails for longevity and accessibility. The construction methods we use minimize impacts to landscape and ecology. Our finished trails complement their environment and will for years to come.

  • We offer more than 30 combined years of backcountry masonry and stonecraft experience, and specialize in highly technical projects in inaccessible locations. Our backcountry logger-carpenters provide aesthetic, sustainable solutions to bridge obstacles other structures cannot.

    When completed, the structures we create are enduringly beautiful, look at home in our New England forests, and are a generational investment in the sustainability of your trails.

  • For over a century, every spring our crew has run the backcountry trail systems of the north country, clearing downed trees by axe, cleaning drainages, standardizing, and preparing the trails for the summer ahead. Our annual maintenance services open trail networks efficiently and sustain existing trail infrastructure.
