Have fun. Manage risk. Leave it better.🌲⚒️

Those three ideas capture a lot of what brings Appalachian Mountain Club and NOLS together.

In 2026, we’re partnering on 15 Wilderness Medicine courses across the region, helping more people build outdoor skills, preparedness, and confidence. More recently, that collaboration moved from the classroom to the trail when the NOLS team joined AMC staff at Highland Center for an afternoon of stewardship.

Together, the crew tackled cairn work, brushing, raking, drainage, step repair, and more along the Stewardship Trail, with plenty of learning and laughter mixed in. 🥾

A good partnership is about more than shared values. It’s about showing up, learning from one another, and putting those values into action. 💚

I Spy: moose edition 👀🔍🫎

AMC Forest Manager Carolyn Ziegra captured this bird’s-eye view of the AMC Maine Woods Initiative. Look closely and you might spot two big bull moose out in the bog. Can you find them?

We had a blast at the Maine Woods Rambler up in Greenville! 🍁We enjoyed exploring logging trails through the heart of Maine's rugged 100-mile wilderness, evening fireside chats, dark sky stargazing, and outstanding lodge meals. Program Manager Heather rode her trike all weekend and enjoyed the challenging adventure with breathtaking views of peak fall foliage.

Special thanks to the Bicycle Coalition of Maine and the Appalachian Mountain Club for planning this epic weekend! Thank you to .rimm for capturing some truly incredible photos.

Proof that hikers have always known the value of a good snack break. 😌🥪
This group was doing exactly that along the Crawford Path in the 1930s.

What’s your go-to trail snack? Tell us in the comments. 👇

Meet the little kiosk that could. 🌲

Before this kiosk found its home in New Jersey, it went on quite a journey.

It was built, cut, and painted in Maine by longtime AMC sign maker George Brown, then handed off between trails staff as they traveled across the region. From Maine to New Hampshire, on to Massachusetts, and finally down to New Jersey, each handoff helped get it one step closer to installation. And after one rainy leg of the journey, we can also confirm the paint holds up pretty well. 😅

It’s a fun example of how much coordination can go into even one piece of a trail project, and how AMC staff across the region work together to get the job done. 💚
