Volunteers interested can attend the M.E.V.O. hiking trip at Ramapo Valley County Reservation (a.k.a “The Res”) in Mahwah, NJ. If you’re looking for some tough trails and truly beautiful vistas, M.E.V.O. hikes are the place to be! This hike will meet in the parking lot at 11:00 a.m. PLEASE BE ON TIME! Bring water, some extra food (if you want), and clothing appropriate for the weather and for hiking! Feel free to bring your bathing suits to take a swim! We will be finished and back at ground level at 3:00 p.m. If interested in attending, send an e-mail to mevovolunteers@mahwahevo.org with your name, age, and phone number.

M.E.V.O. will be volunteering with The New York New Jersey Trail Conference to help restore damaged hiking trail land at Bear Mountain State Park, in Bear Mountain, New York. After the recent reroute of the Appalachian Trail (AT) at Bear Mountain, there is still work to be done to repair the soil erosion on the closed sections of the old AT. We will be installing check dams and covering over the old trail with natural organic features. Please keep in mind that the work we will be doing is very arduous and strenuous, and the physical labor will be very tiring. We will be carpooling to this event to reduce CO2 emissions (fewer cars = less CO2). Please be sure to wear boots, jeans, and clothes you can get dirty. Bring lots of water and lunch, as we will be working well into the day. We will be meeting at the Ramapo Valley County Reservation (a.k.a. “The Res”) parking lot in Mahwah, NJ at 8:00 a.m., and carpool to Bear Mountain from there. We will be back in Mahwah at 5:00 p.m. If you want to lend a helping hand, then send an e-mail to mevovolunteers@mahwahevo.org with your name, age, and phone number.
