Saturday, May 3, 9:30 AM - Palmer Hill Trails Construction Begins!

The CMC and its CMC/NYNJTC trail crew will begin building the Palmer Hill trails this coming Saturday. This will be our second project in partnership with the NYCDEP. It's going to be a trail unlike any other in the Catskills, with lots of hiking through open meadows and with one of the best views in the Catskills.Come lend a hand to this exciting project, if you can. We will be opening the trails on National Trails Day, June 7, so we're eager to get busy and we'll be focussing most of our efforts here for the next several weeks.Bring work gloves, plenty of water, lunch and snacks. We'll have a good assortment of tools to lend. No dogs due to safety concerns. Rain postpones - you will receive an email. Rain date: Sunday, May 4, 9:30 AM.We look forward to seeing you there.Where: Palmer Hill, Andes, Delaware CountyContact: Register by Friday evening to wendell@catskillmountainclub.org to let me know if you plan to come.
