2023 Trail Crew Wrapped Up

We have wrapped up our 2023 Trail Crew season and want to send along a huge THANK YOU to the 101 different individual volunteers who came out for our 20 different work days! That worked out to just over 2300 volunteer hours of caring for trails and lean-tos in the Adirondacks!

Remember that regardless of your size, strength, age or ability, there is always something you can do on the trail crew. At the end of each day, we want every volunteer to know that they did something useful and contributed to the improvement of the Adirondack trails and lean-tos.

Come join the crew in 2024!

Your Trailmasters; Brian Hoody, Doug Varney, Curt Snyder, Mary Lamb, Michelle McCall, Victoria Challingsworth, and Mark Simpson.

Additionally, we wish to thank our partners at Frontier Town Gateway who provide us with storage for our tools and parking for our crew!

2023 Trail Crew Season Schedule and Signup Link

We have our 2023 Trail crew season figured out and the link ready for folks to sign up – the link can be found here:

Adirondack 46ers Trail Crew Sign-Up 2023 (google.com)

One of the necessities of doing business or volunteering in New York State is the requirement to have sexual harassment policies and training in place. Use the link in the Form to access the training. Hit the “Take the Online Training” link on the left-hand side of the screen to begin the training and make sure to send the certificate of completion back to: shtraining46@gmail.com and CC in adk46ertrailwork@gmail.com

You will receive an hour of training credit for doing this (though it generally takes less than 45 minutes).

Again and most importantly, THANK YOU once again for so generously giving of your time to do the work of the 46ers. You are the backbone of this organization, the heart and soul of this mighty group of hikers! The time you give back to the mountains is truly appreciated.

The base forms that need to be filled out are also attached to this email.

Thank you!
