Help CATS make a new trail in Peru on Saturday, June 10

You can help Champlain Area Trails (CATS) develop its first trail system in Peru on Saturday, June 10, from 9 am to 1:00 pm. The CATS “2nd Saturday-of-the-Month Trail Project” will continue making the eight-mile network of Allen Hill Trails that features incredible views from Huckleberry Hill, gurgling brooks by Bennett Hill, waterfalls on the Reverend York Trail, and pleasant walks on wonderful old roads. We will clear a new trail, “Sue’s Trail,” which winds along Caldwell Brook.

CATS will bring tools and suggests you bring loppers and/or hand saws. It’s helpful to let CATS know you plan to come, so email info@champlainareatrails.com or call (518) 962-2287. Calls or texts on Saturday morning should go to 518-637-8365.
