Please join us this Saturday, March 24, at our birthday bash kick-off!  
12 noon start at Cold Spring Harbor Library.

A message from the LI Greenbelt Trail Conference...
Especially since we are kicking off a busy year celebrating our 40th Anniversary, we hope you can be with us at the Cold Spring Harbor Library on Saturday, March 24 from Noon to 3:00 PM for our Members’ Meeting. We promise you a good program, refreshments, and a chance to voice your concerns and trail experiences. Bring a friend or two and help us spread the word about the Greenbelts. 

Also learn about the upcoming 5/12 Hike for Life - Hug A Trail, with help from special guest Mittens the mascot (and his loyal partner Shadow).   They might even pose for some early Easter photos. :)

If you wish, start with a good workout on a 4.3-mile hike in the hills of Cold Spring Harbor, at 10:00 AM. If you haven’t hiked the north end of our Nassau-Suffolk Trail and think of Long Island as flat, you’re in for a surprise! 

The library is located on NY 25A, north of the junction with NY 108 and south of Cold Spring Harbor shopping district; additional parking at Cold Spring Harbor State Park adjacent to library.

The HFL-HAT will raise awareness and funds for our very own LI Greenbelt Trail Conference this year, in support of efforts to advocate for and maintain the many miles of beautiful trails we have here on Long Island.  

2018 represents the LI Greenbelt Trail Conference's 40th birthday, so it is certainly a year to celebrate!  
In honor of the BIG 4-0, the Hike for Life - Hug A Trail long distance hike will be a 40K, starting in Blydenburgh County Park at the LI Greenbelt Trail Conference office at 8:00am.  
For those wishing to do a more modest distance, there will be a 10K beginning at 1:00pm at the same location.
In the late afternoon, both hikes will conclude back at the starting point and all participants can share some birthday cake, beverages, and fun surprises!

In addition to hikers at this event, we also need sponsors and volunteers.  If you own or work for a company that would like to sponsor or donate the t-shirts, water/beverages, or food of any type, please contact us as soon as possible.
If you are able to volunteer help before the event, or on May 12, please let us know and we'll match up time, interest, and availability!

Please remember that this is a 40th birthday celebration, so we will request a gift of $40 per hiker to help LI Greenbelt Trail Conference continue to hug trails for all of us to enjoy!   (Online registration site coming soon, so stay tuned...)


Please like our Facebook page "Hike for Life LI", as event information will be updated and posted there.

And of course, visit website www.ligreenbelt.org and join or renew your membership so that you're sure to find out about all of the fun birthday events this year!

If any questions, please call, text, or email.  Thanks!
Hope you will join us this Saturday and on May 12 at Hike for Life - Hug A Trail!

Enjoy,
Shari
