"Your trails have been a Godsend for me through the pandemic as I hike frequently with my friend who is a member. Within a day or two we often notice a volunteer has done work in a particular spot. I want to support these efforts. The tree damage from the recent hurricane was startling; you are working hard to recover. I particularly enjoyed Janis's vast knowledge and friendly spirit as she led the Full Moon Hike. Wishing you all all the best, please stay safe. I thank you for providing this gorgeous respite that has allowed me to stay healthy and happy." - C. Hagelin, Schiff member
