Appalachian Trail Sterling Forest NY Bellvale Mountain 9/25/20 | Hiking and Picking up Trash vlog
Support New York New Jersey Trail Conference https://www.nynjtc.org/
In 2020 I started recording my hikes and documenting how many bags of trail trash I was removing. I got to 100 bags total and decided that I'm no longer going to keep track of the total bags, but still want to encourage everyone to carry in and carry out and leave no trace. I love spending time in nature and need it for my sanity, it's really a shame the way people mistreat it.
I found that it was too difficult for me to manage two Youtube channels, so I'm only posting video on my main channel Lucas Mason Jar / lucasmasonjar now. At Lucas Mason Jar you will find a variety of videos from me about food(gardening/cooking) and nature(hiking/foraging), I hope to here from you there. Thanks for the support!
Get out in nature and soak up some of those trees. Stay healthy friends!
