SUMMARY:Learn Trail Building Skills in the Finger Lakes\, NY
DESCRIPTION:Build Trail Experience in the Finger Lakes and the nationally recognized North Country Scenic Trail! Special 1-Year Membership to Finger Lakes Trail Conference included! \nJoin Allegany State Park for the second year of a multiyear effort to revitalize the 20.6 miles of Finger Lakes Trail /North Country National Scenic Trail! This project will build upon the Four-year partnership between the American Hiking Society and the Finger Lakes Trail Conference which has rehabilitated over 20 miles of trail. Volunteers are needed to rehabilitate the Finger Lakes / North Country Scenic Trail through the Allegany State Park. \nVolunteer tasks will be varied\, giving volunteers an opportunity to participate in and learn different types of trailwork throughout the week. Specific projects this year will include reroofing and staining a lean-to (shelter)\, cleaning up the general area\, water control improvements including drainage cleaning\, installation of water bars/rolling dips (to divert water) and removing slough and berms from trail benching\, vegetation clearing and blazing. Detailed instruction and guidance for each task will be provided\, so join this project to build your trail maintenance skillset! \nThere is no experience needed to join a Volunteer Vacation! Your expert hosts will provide detailed instruction\, tool demonstrations\, and project oversight throughout the week. All you need is a willing attitude and to be in good physical condition to participate in moderate physical activity for approximately 6-8 hours a day with plenty of breaks\, at your own pace. Find out more about what it’s like to join a Volunteer Vacation and other frequently asked questions here.

SUMMARY:Letchworth State Park - 2023 Volunteer Vacations
DESCRIPTION:Join this project and continue the work that American Hiking Society Volunteers have contributed over several years in the heart of this beautiful park! Letchworth State Park\, renowned as the “Grand Canyon of the East\,” is one of the most scenically magnificent areas in the eastern U.S. The Genesee River roars through the gorge over three major waterfalls between cliffs–as high as 600 feet in some places–surrounded by lush forests. Hikers can choose among 66 miles of hiking trails. Trails are also available for horseback riding\, biking\, snowmobiling\, and cross-country skiing. Letchworth offers nature\, history and performing arts programs\, guided walks\, tours\, a summer lecture series\, whitewater rafting\, kayaking\, a pool for swimming and hot air ballooning. \nThis project will take place on the Finger Lakes Branch Trail through Letchworth State Park. Volunteers will build on the work of previous volunteer vacations and continue to work on tread and drainage along the trail. This will include daily hikes up to 5 miles each day and digging drainage\, re-shaping tread\, and helping with minor re-routes. There are steep sections in and out of ravines in areas. Training will be provided on all aspects from using trail tools to doing trail work.  \nThere is no experience needed to join a Volunteer Vacation! Your expert hosts will provide detailed instruction\, tool demonstrations\, and project oversight throughout the week. All you need is a willing attitude and to be in good physical condition to participate in moderate physical activity for approximately 6-8 hours a day with plenty of breaks\, at your own pace. Find out more about what it’s like to join a Volunteer Vacation and other frequently asked questions here.  \nAHS acknowledges with gratitude that this project takes place on the traditional lands of the Ho-de-no-sau-nee-ga (Haudenosaunee) and Onöndowa’ga:’ (Seneca) peoples past and present. We honor the land itself\, the Indigenous communities who have stewarded this land for generations\, their deep and sacred connection to these lands\, and those who continue to steward these lands today. We offer this land acknowledgement as the first of many steps to stand as an ally and amplify Indigenous voices. We invite the American Hiking Society community to join us through continued efforts to support Indigenous communities and learn more about the history of the lands on which we live\, work and recreate.

SUMMARY:Letchworth State Park\, New York - Volunteer Vacations 2022
DESCRIPTION:Letchworth State Park\, renowned as the “Grand Canyon of the East\,” is one of the most scenically magnificent areas in the eastern U.S. The Genesee River roars through the gorge over three major waterfalls between cliffs–as high as 600 feet in some places–surrounded by lush forests. Hikers can choose among 66 miles of hiking trails. Trails are also available for horseback riding\, biking\, snowmobiling\, and cross-country skiing. Letchworth offers nature\, history and performing arts programs\, guided walks\, tours\, a summer lecture series\, whitewater rafting\, kayaking\, a pool for swimming and hot air ballooning. \nThe Letchworth Branch Trail of the Finger Lakes Trail System is a 27-mile-long pathway along the Genesee River as it passes through the Letchworth Gorge. This trail is heavily used by hikers\, runners\, and visitors to the area as it traverses several overlooks of the gorge and its three waterfalls. Much of the trail work will be drainage work\, reroutes and elevating the trail in the most heavily used sections of the trail system. There may be some construction involving the replacement of two lean-to roofs. This process will entail the removal of roofing shingles\, repairs to the wood structure of the roof and the installation of a metal roof. \nAHS acknowledges with gratitude that this project takes place on the traditional lands of the Onöndowa’ga:’ (Seneca) and Ho-de-no-sau-nee-ga (Haudenosaunee) peoples past and present. We honor the land itself\, the Indigenous communities who have stewarded this land for generations\, and those who continue to steward these lands today. AHS invites all volunteers to join us in our commitment to support and amplify the work of Indigenous communities as they work to dismantle the systems of oppression that these communities continue to face today.

SUMMARY:Letchworth State Park - Volunteer Vacations 2021
DESCRIPTION:The Letchworth Branch Trail of the Finger Lakes Trail System is a 27 mile long pathway along the Genesee River as it passes through the Letchworth Gorge. This trail is heavily used by hikers\, runners\, and visitors to the area as it traverses several overlooks of the gorge and its three waterfalls. Much of the trail work will be drainage work\, reroutes and elevating the trail in the most heavily used sections of the trail system. Parts of the trail are now below its opposing sides and become very muddy in the spring and when heavy rainfall is experienced. Water bars\, ditches\, and knicks will be used to help in these situations. \nCURRENT COVID TRAVEL RESTRICTIONS/REQUIREMENTS FOR STATE (Link)
