The Adirondack Mountain Club (ADK) is celebrating National Trails Day in the Catskill Forest Preserve on Saturday, June 7, 2008. Volunteer trail crews led by experienced ADK leaders will spend the day maintaining sections of trail throughout the Catskills.
Volunteers will meet at designated trailheads at 8:30 A.M. and will work until midafternoon. Tools will be provided by ADK. At the end of the work day, trail volunteers are welcome to join together for a well-deserved barbecue dinner including T-shirts, raffles and live music. Volunteers can also camp free at North-South Lake State Campground on Friday and Saturday nights.
Preregistration is required. We ask that volunteers register at least two weeks in advance.
