Episode 52 - 'Informal Trails' and Catskills Trail Crew with Matt Smith

1 hour 46 minutes

Welcome to episode 52 of Inside The Line: The Catskills! On this episode, I am joined by Matt Smith from the Catskills Trail Crew. The Catskills Trail Crew is a volunteer organization that does amazing, fast and dedicated trail maintenance on the places that really need it in the park. Matt shares how it all started, certain projects that they have done and what they have planned for the future. Matt also shares his crazy experience of him rescuing a friend off of Slide Mountain in the 90’s! We also have an in depth chat on the ‘informal trails’ (aka herd paths) in the Catskills. Subscribe on any platform! Share! Donate! Do whatever you want! I'm just glad you're listening! And remember... VOLUNTEER!!!!!!
