Hurricane Sandy Update

After Hurricane Sandy, 100% of our trails were designated as "closed." On February 20, 2013, thanks to the tireless efforts of the NY/NJ Trail Conference crew that helps TNC staff to monitor and maintain our trails, 100% of our trails are "open." We're grateful for their work clearing over 275 trees from our trails!
