A community science opportunity is right outside your door ❄️
Download the Snow Scope app, measure an undisturbed patch of snow (3 times to the nearest cm), and submit your observation.
It takes minutes and helps us track how winters are changing: www.outdoors.org/resources/am...
Because you spoke up, Congress stepped up. 🎉🌲
Federal trail maintenance funding jumped from $8M to $22M — a major bipartisan win for America’s trails.

"AMC Lodge Mount Cardigan, NH" I spent two days hiking last September at the AMC lodge at Mt. Cardigan in NH. It's hard to describe how beautiful and peaceful this place was to visit. Everone was so kind. It felt like home. I can't wait to go back in May. Thank you AMC!

Franconia Ridge is one of the most iconic hikes in the Northeast—and one of the most vulnerable.
That’s why AMC’s professional trail crews are restoring it, one step at a time. Because the alpine ecosystem is fragile. And the foot traffic is relentless.

Five years ago, the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) received permanent funding through the Great American Outdoors Act. Now the Administration is trying to rollback this great conservation & recreation achievement. We must #SaveLWCF funding to protect our trails and public lands!
Huge thanks to @jocomerford.bsky.social & @repciccolo.bsky.social for championing the #TrailsForAll Act (H.915/S.548)!🦽 Your leadership is clearing a path for a more accessible, inclusive outdoors in Massachusetts.
Let’s get this done! #TrailsForAll
As trail stewards and outdoor advocates, we see firsthand how few trails are truly built for everyone.
The #TrailsForAll Act (H.915/S.548) would fund inclusive trail design in MA—and set a model for others. 📣 Ask your rep to support it: p2a.co/cryo2vu
At this year’s Dandelion Dig Day at AMC’s Lakes of the Clouds, 24 volunteers removed 65 pounds of invasive dandelions from fragile alpine habitat! 🌼
Why it matters: dandelions outcompete rare native plants and disrupt alpine biodiversity—often spread by hikers’ boots.
