Putting the Public in Public Lands

NYC owns a lot of land and water in the Catskills. You can walk (or paddle) on some of it because people advocated for that access, and did the work to build paths through it. Just watch out for snakes in the pond! This episode features trail builder Ann Roberti, board member of the Catskill Mountain Club. (Episode recorded in 2021)

If you're taking this tour in person, please play this episode while on the ⁠Shavertown Trail⁠ or at the ⁠Shavertown Boat Launch⁠ at the Pepacton Reservoir. If you don't have a DEP access permit, please park in the area at the side of the road. Accessibility: the parking area is hard-packed. There is a ramp down to the reservoir at the north end of the parking lot. Please visit ⁠walkingthewatershed.com/podcasttour/listen.html⁠ to download a printed map, transcripts, accessibility info, and other important information.
