SUMMARY:Tug Hill Traverse Trail Work Day
DESCRIPTION:Help us make progress on a historic Tug Hill hiking route – the Tug Hill Traverse Trail – and count yourself a vital part of the effort! \nTwice a month\, from June to September\, volunteers meet in the heart of Tug Hill and work together to maintain current sections of the trail as well as clear and mark remaining sections. With over 10 miles completed\, eventually the full trail will cover approximately 20 miles\, from Montague to Osceola\, through the amazing and remote core forest\, headwaters of the East Branch of Fish Creek. \nVolunteers meet at the day’s designated location at 10:00 am and work until 2:00 pm. Stay for an hour\, stay for the day – it’s all good. \nWe’ll email those signed up for each date a few days prior to give the day’s meeting location\, suggest what kinds of tools to bring if available\, and provide driving directions and a map. Work gloves\, a brimmed hat\, lightweight long pants and shirt sleeves\, insect repellent\, sturdy hiking/work shoes\, water and a brown bag lunch/snacks are recommended. \nTug Hill Tomorrow Land Trust has partnered for several years with the Black River Chapter of the Adirondack Mountain Club to establish this historic 20-mile north/south hiking trail through the heart of Tug Hill. The Tug Hill Traverse Trail extends from the DEC’s Tug Hill Wildlife Management Area on the north to the West Leyden Osceola Rd on the south\, and generally follows the East Branch of Fish Creek. Interim trailheads are located on the G&W and Michigan Mills roads\, respectively. \nFor a map of the established northern section of the trail\, visit: Tug-Hill-Traverse-Trail-2024-Final.pdf (visittughill.com) \nREGISTER HERE
