Educate Hikers
ADK oversees two volunteer hiker education programs, which are based out of different locations in the Adirondack Park. The Trailhead Stewardship Program works out of the Heart Lake Program Center near Lake Placid, and the Buck Mountain Trailhead Stewardship Program operates at the Pilot Knob Trailhead near Lake George.
Both programs place volunteers at trailheads to help educate hikers about safe and responsible outdoor recreation practices. Volunteers spend their shifts greeting hikers at the trailhead, answering questions, assisting with trip planning, and more. The end goal is to ensure that hikers stay safe and preventable backcountry impacts are avoided.
