The GT Trailblazers 2008 Virginia ASB Program teamed up with the Potomac Appalachian Trail Club (PATC) for a number of trail maintenance projects on the Appalachian Trail (AT). PATC volunteer staff led 12 GT Trailblazers’ participants for this four-day environmental service project in the Shenandoah National Park of northern Virginia. Participants spent the final three days of the program hiking in the Shenandoah National Park.

In March 2008, Trailblazers teamed up with the Florida National Scenic Trail Association to work on improving back-country campsites along the Florida Trail. Following four days of service work along the Florida Trail, participants spent three days canoeing 34 miles on the upper Suwannee River.
