Hike & Learn with the Clearwater!

Hike & Learn

RSVP here

Join Hudson River Sloop Clearwater for a 2-hour walk of The Hoyt Drive Warren Truss. The program will feature Jeff Anzevino of Scenic Hudson, as well as, Jon Lawson and Kathryn McCullough of the Calvert Vaux Preservation Alliance. Over the course of the walk, our speakers will lead an informal conversation about the Hudson Valley’s collection of historic truss bridges, that if restored and reopened could provide valuable Hudson River access to communities in need. This is an opportunity to meet fellow river-lovers from across the region, and join in conversation about environmental preservation and community access to green spaces. This walk will start and end at Old Post Road Staatsburgh, NY, or 41.852752, -73.927081 or 3/10 mile north of the intersection of Old Post Road and River Rd (GPS Address: 91 Old Post Road, Staatsburg, NY 12580).

Please wear athletic attire and sneakers or hiking boots, and bring a full reusable water bottle and any snacks you might want during the hike. Light snacks will be provided beforehand.

Registrants for this event agree to participate at their own risk and acknowledge that Clearwater (or associated hike leaders) reserve the right to terminate the program any point during the event if participant behavior is deemed unsafe.

Trail Insider Webinar: Managing High-Use Trails (virtual)

Overuse and misuse of the most popular outdoor destinations are threatening the ecological integrity of these special places. In the greater New York metropolitan region, the New York-New Jersey Trail Conference is taking a leadership role in coordinating stewardship efforts to keep up with growing threats. There is no one answer to solving this issue; it is our belief that we can create better outdoor experiences through user education, public participation, and sustainable, on-the-ground solutions. The Trail Conference has joined with land managers and local partners to begin a multi-phased stewardship approach on the Appalachian Trail, at Breakneck Ridge, and in the Catskills. Learn how trail steward programs have worked to make the public better informed, more responsible trails users while protecting the resource. Because when trails are used responsibly, they protect both the people who use them and the environment they traverse.
