Want a sense of real accomplishment?
Join us on Monday morning (Columbus Day), October 10, to help clear the former Great White Way ski slope on Hogback. We’ll work from 9:00 to noon.
This is a project where we see dramatic progress after just a few hours of work. By clearing the slope and then letting it regrow, we’re generating early successional habitat (ESH), the type of dense young forest that provides a wealth of food and shelter opportunities for wildlife. A nice side effect is that for a year or two the views are opened up for hikers and the slopes are clear for skiing.
If you can haul brush, wield loppers, or run a chainsaw, you can help. Park in the big parking lot on the north side of the highway just west of the gift shop at the 100-mile view. Then cross the highway and meet in the field behind the white A-frame building on the south side of Route 9. Bring your own favorite tool or borrow one of ours.
