Deb Blick is the only staff member who has traveled the entire length of the Florida Trail - much of it many times. By foot, bicycle, and truck she was the first to GPS the entire trail and between 1998 and 2011 was responsible for the production of FTA's hiker maps and Data Book.  Since the summer of 2011 Deb has switched over to the development and coordination of training programs for our trail volunteers - from chain saw certification to GPS field usage to Activity Leader Training.  Deb also fields most of the hiker questions that come into the FTA office. 

Deb has been an avid hiker and camper since her first Brownie campout at age 6.  She completed over half of the AT in 1998 and is also a dedicated kayak tourer.  When not working for FTA or out on a Florida river she can be found engaged in some form of training with her 3 dogs - Tracking, Water Rescue Dog, Traildog or K9 Nosework.
