  2024\,&nbsp\;is Earth Day.</b></p>\n<p>The area is considered by some to 
 be the pathway&rsquo\;s birthplace\, for in 1923\, just two years after Be
 nton MacKaye originally proposed the trail\, volunteers built the first fe
 w miles constructed specifically for the Appalachian Trail in New York&rsq
 uo\;s Harriman/Bear Mountain state parks.<br />Selected from the archives 
 of the Appalachian Trail Conservancy\, the National Park Service\, histori
 cal societies\, local Appalachian Trail maintaining clubs\, and regional h
 ikers&rsquo\; private collections\, the photographs and corresponding narr
 ative in Leonard M. Adkins&rsquo\; "Along the Appalachian Trail: New Jerse
 y\, New York\, and Connecticut" present a historical perspective on what i
 t took to create the trail\, including those who lived along it before and
  during its creation\, the thousands of volunteers and arduous tasks they 
 performed\, the many more who have enjoyed the trail through the years\, a
 nd original routes no longer on the present-day Appalachian Trail.</p>\n<p
 >Author Leonard M. Adkins has hiked the entire Appalachian Trail five time
 s and is the author of 21 books about the outdoors and travel\, including 
 seven concerning the trail. He has aided the Appalachian Trail Conservancy
  in protecting rare and endangered plants by being a Natural Heritage Moni
 tor and a ridge runner. He has also been a volunteer trail maintainer and 
 has served on the boards of two Appalachian Trail maintaining clubs.<br />
 "Along the Appalachian Trail: New Jersey\, New York\, and Connecticut" is 
 part of a book series that covers the entire trail. It and the other books
  are available through local and online bookstores\, outdoors outfitters\,
  and Mr. Adkins&rsquo\; website\, www.habitualhiker\, where you may learn 
 more about him.</p>\n<p>At the conclusion of the program please feel free
