SUMMARY:The Long Trail/Appalachian Trail
DESCRIPTION:TRIP CANCELLED due to COVID-19: \n  \nLocated on the Long Trail/Appalachian Trail in Southern\, VT\, Stratton Pond is the most popular overnight backcountry site on the Long Trail. Stratton Pond is a destination for day hikers and the weekend backpacker and the pond has a long and storied history in Vermont trail development. It’s deep in the woods\, approximately 10 miles from a major road crossing\, and hikers frequently stop for a swim and to eat lunch while enjoying the view and the call of the loons. The Long/Appalachian Trail at Stratton Pond and the Lye Brook Trail\, which leads to the Stratton View Tenting Area\, were historically built on the shoreline of the pond. As a result of the high use\, beaver activity\, and eroding shoreline\, these trails were having an adverse impact on pond ecology and water quality. The trails were also in very poor condition. In 2019 the Green Mountain Club\, in partnership with the Green Mountain National Forest and Appalachian Trail Conservancy\, began a multi-year project at Stratton Pond. This includes re-locating the trails away from the shoreline to a more sustainable route\, hardening the surfaces at Stratton View Tenting Area\, constructing a composting privy at Stratton View and de-commissioning old trails. The Green Mountain Club is requesting volunteers with the American Hiking Society to provide assistance with these tasks. Projects may include but are not limited to brushing-in old trails\, constructing step-stones\, rebuilding puncheon\, hauling lumber or preparing a site for privy construction. Volunteers will gain experience in trail re-locations and trail design while also having a positive impact on the ecology of the pond and the experience of the hikers.

SUMMARY:Norskedalen Nature and Heritage Center
DESCRIPTION:TRIP CANCELLED DUE TO COVID-19: \n  \nAfter three major floods in a two year time frame\, resources that would normally go into trail maintenance have gone into flood clean-up. The Goat Loop Trail and Stry Wold Trail have almost completely naturalized as a result. Help with clearing these two trails\, potentially re-routing trails so that hikers no longer get lost in these beautiful spots\, will be a priority. Working on the trails surrounding the Poplar Creek will be another priority. These trails were heavily damaged in the floods; clearing the spring growth of invasive plants\, working to clear the remaining flood damage in places\, and a variety of other issues that will develop over the winter are examples of this work. Rebuilding bridges lost in the floods\, rebuilding historic corrals lost to flooding\, maintenance work on historic buildings such as chinking may also be on the project list.

SUMMARY:Bitterroot National Forest
DESCRIPTION:TRIP CANCELLED DUE TO COVID-19: \n  \nBig Creek Canyon has long been a major thoroughfare and destination for Native American Indians\, trappers\, and mountain travelers in the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness. The trail threads through a beautiful glacier-carved canyon and provides a perfect backdrop for a wilderness experience. With basecamp at the beautiful Big Creek Lake\, SBFC Staff\, Interns and AHS Volunteers will use crosscuts and single-bit axes to clear this well-used trail around the lake to the famous Packbox Pass. Once this work is complete\, the crew will work on clearing the South Fork of Big Creek trail towards another string of glacial lakes. Pack support will be provided to carry group gear\, food\, and tools.

SUMMARY:Muddy Mountain Environmental Education Area
DESCRIPTION:TRIP CANCELLED DUE TO COVID-19: \n  \nCamp on the high plains of central Wyoming. Enjoy the wild west frontier and see what the pioneers of the great American westward expansion saw almost 200 years ago. The Interpretive Natural Trail is a National Recreation Trail and is handicap accessible. In order to maintain this accessibility\, trail maintenance must be performed annually including the addition of new gravel/ trail base. Accommodations will be located at the work site\, at the Lodgepole Campground within the Environmental Education Area. After work\, enjoy a hike to the Beaver Ponds and fish for stocked trout or bring your mountain bike for a fun adventure. The National Historic Trails Interpretive Center will provide an interpretive presentation about historic trail use\, bringing the history of American trails to life as we work on modern day trails.

SUMMARY:Monongahela National Forest\, Canaan Mountain Backcountry
DESCRIPTION:TRIP CANCELLED DUE TO COVID-19: \n  \nCanaan Mountain Backcountry is located on a high elevation plateau ranging in elevations from 3\,100 to 4\,145 feet. This is a semi-primitive area that includes many seasonally wet places. Poor drainage from trail surfaces\, dense rhododendron thickets\, and broken bog crossing structure have diminished the quality of recreation opportunities in the area. This trail section currently doesn’t receive much day to day use due to present conditions\, making this a severely underutilized trail that could be part of a highly sought after backcountry loop. Trail use does still occur which has caused mud filled spots to widen and worsen. On Lindy Run Trail\, the focus will be on both the demolition and construction phases of a boardwalk replacement project. This trail will provide a greater variety of backcountry loop options that can include a branch off to visit Table Rock\, one of the most gorgeous overlooks in the area. This project is priority for the ranger district because it will link up already accomplished work in the area to provide for a better overall experience for locals and visitors alike. In 2018\, a group of American Hiking Society Volunteers replaced a similar boardwalk on Pointy Knob Trail # 139 which connects to Lindy Run and other trails on Canaan Mountain.

SUMMARY:Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness\, Superior National Forest
DESCRIPTION:TRIP CANCELLED DUE TO COVID-19: \n  \nBe a part of the stewardship legacy of the first long-distance wilderness hiking and backpacking trail in Minnesota! The Border Route Trail is a rugged 65-mile-long hiking trail that traverses the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCAW) in the far northeast corner of Minnesota and follows the international border between Minnesota and Ontario. The trail follows ridgelines wherever feasible\, offering expansive views across the BWCAW and Canada. It is rugged and primitive in nature\, providing solitude and a true wilderness experience to those looking for something off of the beaten path. In March 2019\, the Border Route Trail became an official part of the North Country Trail: a National Scenic Trail currently under construction that stretches 4\,600 miles from North Dakota to Vermont. Downed trees and patches of thick brush are common obstacles on the trail. This particular Volunteer Vacation will focus on using primitive hand tools (such as saws and nippers) to remove fallen trees and trim back vegetation from the trail. Additional tasks may involve some maintenance of and improvement to designated campsites. We will camp in the wilderness backcountry at a designated site and daytrip to the work location\, sometimes commuting via canoe to portions of the trail. Come enjoy a very unique experience and some of the best of the BWCAW!

SUMMARY:Custer Gallatin National Forest
DESCRIPTION:PROJECT CANCELLED DUE TO COVID-19: \nThis project consists of general trail clearing and maintenance on trails in the Clark’s Fork River drainage and the Beartooth Plateau on the Custer Gallatin National Forest in the Cooke City\, MT area. Trail clearing and maintenance includes clearing downed trees across trails\, cleaning of water bars\, and removing trailside brush using primitive tools such as crosscut saws\, axes\, shovels\, pulaski’s\, and loppers. Maintenance may also include some work repairing or installing new trail structures such as turnpikes or puncheons. Work will consist of day trips that involve hiking 6 to 10 miles per day while conducting trail work. Volunteer crews will be supervised and will work directly with some of the district’s trail crew. Most of this project work will occur within the picturesque Absaroka Beartooth-Wilderness. Volunteers would stay at the Forest Service Cooke City work station\, a rustic log cabin located 2 miles from Cooke City\, MT. Shower and laundry facilities are available. Goals for week would be clear out as many miles of trails as possible in this area that contains more than 50 miles hiking and horseback riding trails as they emerge from the winters snow pack.

SUMMARY:Letchworth State Park\, Finger Lakes Region
DESCRIPTION:CANCELLED DUE TO COVID-19: \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 gorge within Letchworth State Park. This trail is heavily used by hikers\, runners\, and visitors to the area as it overlooks the gorge and its three waterfalls. The project will involve creating drainages\, rerouting and armoring the trail in the most heavily used sections. Waterbars\, ditches\, and knicks will be used to help in these situations.

SUMMARY:Salmon Challis National Forest
DESCRIPTION:CANCELLED DUE TO COVID-19: \nThere are multiple trails that leave from the Historic Loon Creek Guard Station\, where the volunteers will be housed\, that lead to Wilderness. Because motorized/mechanized equipment is not allowed in designated Wilderness areas\, the Forest Service clears downed trees that have fallen across the trail with cross cut saws. Volunteers will receive training in the use and care of our 100 year old saws to be able to safely clear trail. There is light trail maintenance that we will be working on as well\, such as water drainage dips and some light brushing. \nBecause of the logistical challenges here on the Salmon-Challis the AHS workweek Will NOT BE the standard “Monday through Friday” but instead will be a Wednesday through Tuesday one. We will meet at the Challis office on Wednesday\, June 10 at 1pm. We will make sure everyone’s got what they need for the week then travel three hours to the Guard Station. Work will begin the following morning at 7am for an 8hr day\, with a half hour lunch break. The following day\, Friday\, will be similar. Saturday will be a free day where volunteers can explore the hot springs nearby or there are excellent fishing and hiking opportunities or great places to just set up a hammock and read. Our next two work days will be Sunday and Monday then we will pack up and drive out on Tuesday morning. We will cut our way up the “Pioneer” and “Trail” trails then hike back to the Guard Station at the end of the day. As we cut we will progressively get farther into the wilderness each day\, or we can move on to another trail to provide for shorter hikes\, depending on the aspirations of the group.

SUMMARY:Chugach National Forest
DESCRIPTION:CANCELLED DUE TO COVID-19: \nInvasive weed control is a vital and ongoing effort on the Chugach National Forest! We have relatively few infestations\, thus our work in controlling weeds has a huge impact. Volunteers will be traveling via train (no additional fee) to Spencer Glacier and Lake area to control dandelions and other non-natives along trails and developed sites. Work will consist of a 4-mile hike with 1\,500′ elevation gain. The crew will stay at Spencer until Wednesday before departing to camp at Porcupine Campground in Hope\, AK to control non-native species along Hope Point or Gull Rock Trail. Hope Point Trail is extremely steep and climbs approximately 3\,500′ in about 2 miles. The group will also control European bird cherry in the town of Hope.

SUMMARY:Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore
DESCRIPTION:CANCELLED DUE TO COVID-19: \nThe Beaver Basin Wilderness includes 13 miles of stunning Lake Superior shoreline from Spray Falls on the west to Sevenmile Creek on the east. The wilderness is some 3.5 miles deep. The Beaver Basin Wilderness offers opportunities for quiet\, solitude\, wilderness recreation\, and spiritual renewal. The wilderness zone includes 8.4 miles of the North Country National Scenic Trail and 8.5 miles of connector trails as well as six backcountry campsites. We have a one week clearance every year to use power tools to clear and rehab trails\, remove and replace boardwalks\, and build different types of trail assets. Hand tools such as shovels\, lopers\, grub hoes\, and other tools will also be used. Our goal is to open up and get the trails in shape for the summer hiking season. Unlike any other place on Lake Superior\, Pictured Rocks offers the opportunity to explore miles of pristine beaches\, hike nearly 100 miles of trails\, view towering sandstone cliffs\, and experience the serenity of northern woodlands.

SUMMARY:Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness
DESCRIPTION:PLEASE NOTE WE ARE RESCHEDULING THIS TRIP DUE TO COVID-19. STAY TUNED FOR THE NEW DATES: \nVolunteers will clear blowdowns and brush along the wilderness section of the Border Route Trail (BRT) within the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness in northeastern Minnesota’s Superior National Forest. The BRT is a remote\, 65 mile footpath and part of the North Country National Scenic Trail which spans 4\,600 miles from North Dakota to Vermont. The wilderness section covers 36 mile through the BWCA and is maintained by using hand saws and loppers to clear the 4′ x 8′ corridor as power tools are not allowed inside the BWCA. The plan is to paddle in with canoes to a base camp inside the BWCA and do daily clearing\, returning to base camp each evening. However\, we need a plan B in case the ice hasn’t gone out of the lakes\, preventing water travel. Unlikely\, but it is possible. So\, we are going to plan for a backpack in to base camp\, and do daily clearing and returning to base camp every evening. This means we will travel lighter\, carrying backpacking meals and cooking equipment. If the ice is gone\, we will paddle in with canoes. Our goal is to clear 5 or 6 miles of the trail.

SUMMARY:Tom's Run Preserve
DESCRIPTION:CANCELLED DUE TO COVID-19: \nThis project will expand hiking trails within a public access area of mature hardwood forest in the 325-acre Tom’s Run Preserve (TRP)\, a conserved natural area owned and managed by West Virginia Land Trust. Located on the outskirts of Morgantown\, the state’s most rapidly growing metropolitan area\, the preserve hosts over 2 miles of wooded hiking trails\, and offers tremendous potential as a public greenspace for non-motorized outdoor recreation. Trails in Tom’s Run Preserve wind through a sloping wooded area and are built on a mostly soil base. Some areas have rocks which may need moved or used to build berms\, waterbars\, or other trail features. There may be some underbrush and fallen branches to be cleared during construction. The trail work for the project was designed by Rick Landenberger – WV Land Trust’s Science and Land Management Specialist\, and a research assistant professor of geography at West Virginia University – who will provide oversight and assistance for the trail crew. Trail building in 2020 will expand into the TRP Backwoods area\, specifically extending the Elizabeth’s Woods trails with the the Saddle Loop\, and Backwoods Connector Trail.

SUMMARY:Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse Outstanding Natural Area
DESCRIPTION:The Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse Outstanding Natural Area is the BLM’s most easterly unit of the National Conservation Lands. The site\, known for its namesake lighthouse\, was designated by congress in 2008 for the protection and enhancement of various resources – including recreation. The 120-acre site is located in the highly urbanized south Florida atlantic coastline\, just 1/4 mile from the Atlantic Ocean. The site itself is visited by over 100\,000 people each year to engage in everything from fishing to cultural appreciation. The site currently contains 1.5 miles of trail (both ADA and Natural Surface) that require routine maintenance. In addition to the existing trails a number of new trails are planned\, but remain unconstructed. The goal of this project is to complete any needed maintenance on the existing trails (involving brushing\, tread stabilizations/surfacing and general maintenance of the trail corridor) and clear and construct all or portions of the planned trails. These planned trails include shoreline access spur trails and a new loop trail providing increased walking/hiking opportunities on the site. Tools involved include trimmers\, chain saws\, shears\, loppers\, and shovels. However the workload is largely manual labor clearing vegetation\, moving and spreading mulch\, setting natural materials to mark trail edges and general tidying of the trail corridor. The overall goal for the week is to enjoy some time enhancing the recreational values of the Outstanding Natural Area\, while becoming familiar with one of the Bureau’s more unique sites in the National Conservation Lands.

SUMMARY:Trinity River National Wildlife Refuge
DESCRIPTION:Trinity River National Wildlife Refuge is situated in a bottomland hardwood forest. Volunteers will be working on trail maintenance on the Knobby Knees and Great Egret Ridge Trails. These trails offer scenic views of symphonies of knobby knees peeking through the silent\, still waters of the backwood swamps\, Spanish moss hanging overhead in the bald cypress trees\, and\, if one is quiet enough\, alligators and other fauna peering back from the waters below Palmer Bayou Boardwalk. While the trails in the project areas total 16 miles\, this particular Volunteer Vacation will involve approximately 7 miles\, in total\, with no more than 3 miles of hiking per day. Tasks include removing fallen vegetation and limbs from the trail and trimming vegetation that could scratch or pose other inconveniences to hikers. Additional tasks may include cleaning kiosks and starting construction on an additional 3 miles of new trail. Trail construction consists of building a trail 5-8 feet wide where limb and vegetation removal will be the main focus. The project area is relatively flat. Very easy hiking.
