The goal of the SCA/USFWS Trails Inventory program is to provide the Fish and Wildlife Service with a comprehensive and accurate inventory of all trails on USFWS sites across the country. This is certainly an ambitious project as there are over 600 USFWS sites nationwide. This project will take us to every corner of the country, to high mountains and low deserts through bayous and fjords. We are all extremely excited for this opportunity as it provides the chance to perform an important service to the USFWS, expand our own knowledge and expertise, and experience many different parts of the country for the first time.
Hitch 8- NorthEast
Stefano Potter and Letha Pease went on a three week tour of the Northeast where they went to a total of 8 states. They started off in New England where they spent a week travelling between Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine. The fall color was out and the weather was mild which made it a great time of year to be in the region. Highlights of the area included visits to Bangor, Maine and Acadia National Park. After this the crew headed south to visit refuges in Maryland, Delaware, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. This area offered opportunities to visit Washington D.C. to watch a hockey game and Annapolis where there was a sailboat race taking place. While there was a lot of ground covered in this three week trip it allowed the crew to visit much of the Northeast and visit many new places they had not yet seen.
