Explore the Adirondacks! Created in 1892 as one of the first Forever Wild Forest Preserves in the nation, the Adirondack Park is a unique wilderness area, and volunteers are needed to help maintain it! This project will take place in the Champlain Valley, home to the famous Lake Champlain and several breweries, wineries, historic museums, scenic drives and boat tours.<\/p>\n

Volunteers will work to establish and maintain new trails within the Champlain Area Trails land trust by clearing the trail of branches, brush, and fallen logs plus doing some side-cuts to level the trail on hillsides. Volunteers may also assist with the installation of new bridges and boardwalks as needed throughout the week.<\/p>\n

There is no experience needed to join a Volunteer Vacation!\u00a0<\/b>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\u2019s like to join a Volunteer Vacation and other frequently asked questions\u00a0here.<\/a><\/p>\n

Land Acknowledgment:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

AHS acknowledges with gratitude that this project takes place on the traditional lands of the Haudenosaunee, Kanien\u02bckeh\u00e1\ua789ka (Mohawk), past and present. We honor the land itself, the Indigenous communities who have stewarded these islands and mountain landscapes for countless generations, and those who continue this stewardship today. This acknowledgement is one step in our ongoing commitment to uplift Indigenous voices. We invite the American Hiking Society community to learn about, support, and stand in solidarity with the Indigenous peoples whose lands we live, work, and recreate on.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
