Volunteer corridor monitors help protect
Volunteer corridor monitors help protect the Appalachian Trail by walking and maintaining the property boundaries of the Trail's land. Much of the work of protecting and maintaining the Appalachian Trail is done by volunteers and we hope that this video helps you understand how the Appalachian Trail is protected and how you can get involved to help!
After thru-hiking the Appalachian Trail in 2016, Moe (1/2 of The Hiker Trash Husbands) wanted to give back to the Trail to preserve and protect it for future hikers.
To that end he became the volunteer leader of the maintenance of the trail and its protected corridor from the NY/NJ state line to the Hudson River.
Along its 2190 miles, the Appalachian Trail travels through a number of different protected areas including national parks, national forests, state parks and more. In much of New York, the trail is protected by a narrow corridor of national park land. One of the jobs of a volunteer is to walk the boundaries of this land, ensuring that the boundary is well marked and that the land remains protected and undisturbed.
In this video, Moe was training new volunteers on how to follow, maintain, and mark this corridor to protect it from outside threats.
