Our second crew outing of 2018 started on April 20th.
Our first task of 2018 we will continue our work from last year, rehabilitating the Appalachian Trail on West Mountain in Harriman State Park NY.
Phase 3 of this project takes place at the top of West Mountain. Here we will continue to rearrange large boulders, build more steps and improved treadway. This being only the second crew outing of the year, many crew members were still working the kinks out and getting their mountain legs back. All in all it was great seeing old friends again and it felt good getting back on the trail. We’ll be back in two weeks.
I’ve been told no one reads this side board info panel. If you do please let me know.
The Appalachian Trail is always changing and evolving. All along the A.T., work crews, like LDTC constantly relocate and rehabilitate portions of the trail to protect nature and to enhance the Appalachian Trail hiking experience.
All of our projects take a lot of effort and as always, all done by volunteers. Our experience crew and crew leaders are eager to teach volunteers of all abilities the skills needed to build hiking trails.
Speaking of volunteers, not everyone can make it everyday and that’s OK with us. Some volunteers come out everyday while others can only make it to 1 or 2. Don’t feel that you have to commit to an entire project or even a weekend, any help is appreciated and being a volunteer you can come and go as you see fit.
We're a community of volunteers who build, protect and maintain hiking trails. We invite you to join us. You’ll be glad you did.
