Mid-Hudson Chapter
The 14,800 acre Willowemoc Wild Forest is a place you can enjoy solitude. It offers an extensive trail network and several ponds. Even though there are no major elevation changes, you still can get a grand view. For this, we'll do a pack-less side hike up Beech Mtn. (~2 miles RT; ~150 ft. ascent). How can you get a Catskill grand view on such a small climb? Well, Beech Mtn. is the highest point in all Sullivan County.
Here's the itinerary:
Day of Arrival:
Hike ~1.7 miles, with no significant elevation change, to a primitive tent site (with outhouse) on Frick Pond.
Day 1:
Hike to Quick Lake, with a pack-less side hike up Beech Mtn. for the view. With overnight packs, we'll hike ~7
miles with ~800 ft. elevation gain. There's a shelter and tent sites on Quick Lake. This is a good fishing spot.
Day 2:
Hike back to the parking area (~6.5 miles; ~800 ft. decent) on different trails than those of Day 1.

Azure Mountain Fire Tower
Glens Falls-Saratoga Chapter
his is the most northwestern fire tower in the challenge and one that requires a 3 hour trip ONE WAY from the Saratoga Area! It is short and steep with switchbacks but should be a lovely hike in spring conditions with chances of great views of Marcy, the Sewards and St. Regis Canoe Area. We could be hiking in deep snow, on packed icy trails or end up in rotten slush with mud and rock in a t-shirt- always tough to predict. Be prepared with snowshoes and spikes just in case.

To cover as much ground as possible, we are asking volunteers to collect litter in their own neighborhoods or along their usual walking routes. You can dispose of your collected bags in the dumpster provided by the Town of New Hartford, located near the New Hartford Village Salt Barn (behind One Genny and Cliff’s at 2 Mill Street).
,
The dumpster will be available for drop-offs all day on Wednesday, April 22. We will also be taking a group photo of volunteers at 6:00 pm near the dumpster—please join us! Together, we can keep our neighborhoods beautiful.

Roll Up Your Sleeves and Give Back!
Niagara Frontier Chapter
We’re inviting you to join us on Saturday, May 2 for a day of hands-on trail work in Allegheny State Park on the Finger Lakes Trail/Conservation Trail. It’s a great way to disconnect from the screen, get your hands dirty, and help clean up a section of a heavily used trail for summertime use, maybe one that you've used in the past. It’s hard work, but the reward is a cleaner, more accessible trail for the whole community—plus, we’ll be covering lunch and snacks for all our volunteers. Spaces are limited, so grab your spot today and help us build a stronger trail community.

Paddle - West River
Genesee Valley Chapter
We will carry our boats a short distance down the old railroad bed and launch there. Jim assures us he will be there to help with the launch site. We will paddle out toward the old rookery, hoping to find heron (or eagle). A few boats at a time should approach the area in silence as we are paddling into the birds' space and we do not want to scare.
If after we return to our put in, we have not yet paddled 2 hours, we will paddle under the bridge (if possible ) and continue into that portion of the West River. This is a nice paddle to start the season with! Of course we will help each other with the carry.
Be prepared to sign the ADK liability release form, wear you PFD tight and correctly, and keep an eye on fellow paddlers.

Observe a citizen science collaboration at a bird banding station on the Crown Point site. The volunteers set mist nets to collect, document and band migrating songbirds. Due to the location under the Atlantic Flyway, the site is a premier location for viewing birds migrating north for the season. Watch this experienced team of citizen scientists net hundreds of birds, identify and measure species and record their songs.
