Not to go off trail… but let’s talk about herd paths.🌲 👀 Those little “quick shortcuts” might not seem like a big deal in the moment, but over time, repeated footsteps can trample plants, compact soil, increase erosion, and lead hikers into unsafe or sensitive areas. In high-traffic places like the Catskills, one unofficial path can quickly become a lasting scar on the landscape. The good news? Trail care works! This National Trails Day, we’re partnering with @catskillcenter for a hands-on Volunteer Stewardship Day at Platte Clove Preserve to help care for a highly trafficked trail system and support proactive stewardship before the busy summer season really takes off. ✨JOIN US 🧑‍🌾 Saturday, June 6 from 9AM–1PM EST in the Catskills to help make a real impact on the trails we all love. Spots are limited, so register before they fill up through the link in bio. Leave it better starts with showing up. See you on the trail 🥾 #NationalTrailsDay #LeaveItBetter #Volunteer
