Matt Moore has been working on trails since 2004. He has worked on professional Trail Crews in Yosemite, Mt Rainier, and Grand Teton National Parks, and managed trails programs for AMC for a cumulative ten years. As Senior Trails Operations Manager for AMC, he supports the AMC Trails Departments region-wide efforts including professional trail crews and volunteers. In this role, he has helped manage technical trails projects from Maine to Pennsylvania.

Matt has recently been involved in improving the trail at Mt. Watatic. He will be joining us on the morning hike at Watatic to go over the work done so far, and the challenges of this section of the trail.

This will be a great presentation for trail adopters, trail workday attendees, hikers, and anyone interested in best practices for trail creation and maintenance.

On display at the meeting will be the guest books from the historic Wapack Lodge and photos from the early years of the trail.  We will end with sharing a delicious cake!
