Blues Crew Expands Focus
The Blues Crew has taken some hits this year due to flooding in February and Covid-19 preventing access to agencies and trails as well as requiring social distancing measures. As a result, the leadership team of the Blues Crew has decided to expand their focus from beyond trails to include Road Patrols of our County roads.
Wild & Scenic Comes to Your Home
“For the last five years, we’ve kicked off our education series with the Wild & Scenic Festival. The festival is a collection of the best nature films you’ll ever see,” said Tim Copeland, executive director of the Blue Mountain Land Trust. “We were going to do that this April too. And then COVID-19 stopped us right in our tracks.”
