WWTA requires membership application, and provides a guidebook with updates, a newsletter, and promotion of a Code of Ethics. Members are encouraged to participate in organized workshops and stewardship works. The permit fee is set by Washington State Parks and the money goes to a dedicated account at parks. They are working toward a goal of a campsite approximately every 15 km along the entire BC Marine Trail route, with outhouse facilities at appropriate locations and an emphasis on lessening the environmental impact on our wilderness resources. When this does occur, a name for the entire route may require some consideration by all parties.
Financial considerations are still a concern, which prevents some momentum.
A fully functional trail as originally envisioned will be a slow process. There were some problems with the membership data base when the head office relocated to southern Vancouver Island and then back again to the BC mainland. Phone numbers and addresses are listed below. Peter McGee, founding member, is also back on the board of directors. Paddlers everywhere thank Peter for his vision and commitment.
