Volunteerism has always formed the backbone of the East Coast Trail and the Association. Each year, ECTA recognizes outstanding volunteer contributions at an Awards Night Celebration held in a trail community during National Volunteer Week. Five unique awards are presented to outstanding volunteers:
The Tuckamore Award is awarded to a supporter, person, group, organization or municipality who has made a difference and helped the association persevere.

The Flamber Head Award is given to volunteers of the East Coast Trail Association who have volunteered for three (3) years or more and have demonstrated exceptional commitment to the Association.
