Trail U in Livingston Manor

Posted

LIVINGSTON MANOR, NY — The public is invited to Trail U on Sunday, April 17 at 1 p.m. at Morgan Outdoors (www.morgan-outdoors.com), 46 Main St. This workshop will provide participants with the skills necessary to properly clear, maintain and improve a hiking trail so it is easily passable for fellow hikers and the trail itself is harmonious with the environment.

Participants will meet at Morgan Outdoors for a short indoor session, sponsored by the NY-NJ Trail Conference, then drive 8.5 miles to Frick Pond Trailhead in Mongaup State Park. There, they will form two groups with tasks for beginners and kids ages eight and up, as well as seasoned volunteers.

Participants will learn assessment of trail conditions, clearing, trail marking, proper use of tools and how to report trail problems they come across on the trail. Refreshments will be served. Wear your hiking boots, dress appropriately for the outdoor conditions and trail work, pack plenty of water and bring work gloves. Register online at www.nynjtc.org/view/workshops. For more information contact Doug Senterman at 518/628-4243 or email catskills@nynjtc.org.
