Long Distance Trails Crew - Long Path Worktrip

Join the Long Distance Trails Crew and help build and restore the Long Path at the north end of Tallman Mountain.

The Long Distance Trails Crew will continue the work of rehabilitating the NY Long Path at the north end of Tallman Mountain and building a long series of about 220 stone steps.  This project is expected to take multiple years to complete.

These volunteer lead worktrips are open to everyone: experienced trail builders seeking to develop their skills, as well as people with no experience looking to try something new and give back to the trails they enjoy.

The crew works Friday, Saturday, Sunday every other week. Details for each worktrip will be posted on a rolling basis. Register here to be included on the LDTC Mailing List and receive details on upcoming worktrips.
