Cornell Outdoor Education Come be a part of the birth of a trail.

COE will be coming together with the Cornell Plantations, the Cayuga Trails Club, and the Friends of the Gorge to do a massive trail reroute of the Cayuga Trail in the Monkey Run Forest Preserve.

COE has taken the lead in organizing this project, as a way of being good stewards o...f the natural resources that we utilize on a regular basis. We're hoping that nearly all of the work will be done by COE volunteers with the Plantations and Cayuga Trails Club providing equipment and expertise for the project.

What we need is you!! We are looking for enough people to fill about six 5-person work crews for the entire day. We'll be filling crews as people arrive, so come and go as you are able.

We're hoping for 40 volunteers during the course of the day. That's a lot of people!! So we're calling all current and past instructors, COE full-time staff, alumni, affiliates, students, and anyone involved with COE to come do the work. With enough help, this project will be a digging, dirt-moving, log-stripping, stair-building good time. So come join us for the day or just a part of it.

COE will provide shuttles to the site from Bartels Hall and a deli-style lunch for all volunteers.

Wow - very cool to have a van named after you. Congrats to you Heidi! Seems things have improved a tad since the days of the "Deathmobile" (even if you don't confess I know some of you out there remember it).

Just a few notes from someone who's been researching this for the past year: The disease has gone from totally unobserved to spread from Vermont to Virginia in just three years, alarmingly fast, and killed over 80% of bats in infected areas. A lot of emphasis is being put on the fungus, but really, no one knows what the real cause is at all, could... See More be the fungus, or a virus, or a bacteria, or any number of possibilities. And even if it is safe for humans to be exposed (not known for sure), by doing so, you may be carrying the problem out with you and infecting new areas. So I, along with what few bats are left in the northeast, hope that people consider caving elsewhere and respect the moratorium on caving in the area.
