Jackson moved here from Asheville, NC as an AmeriCorp Vista and is interested in Conservation Education, Volunteering and the Environment. He will be leaving at the end of June to join a organization in Washington State doing Conservation Work. Liam is a the new Trails and Volunteer Coordinator and is excited to join the team! He is originally from the Thousand Islands area in NY. 

Liam talked about he will be managing the trails at the TAM and portions of the North Country Trail. He went on to talk about the success of MALT through the past 30 years of dedicated volunteers to have helped build bridges and structures to keep the trails maintained and safe. As the 1st paid staff to maintain the trails, he hopes to update all the structures that were put in place 20-30 years ago, while maintaining the art and dedication to previous volunteers (Al Stiles).

Jackson talked about a few programs MALT hosts over the year/summer. Through a new grant, MALT will be able to host a after-school program for middle schoolers. They will focus on the trades and include masonry, carpentry, and alternative pathways for youth. Additionally, the have several summer programs. During these programs, kids learn how to build a fire, fort for safety, and about plants/conservation. MALT also works closely with Mary Hogan for their programs at Battell Woods and partners with TVT to bring students there for free. 

Jackson and Liam talked about their newest location that will be going live in the Fall - Salisbury Mill. Once this is ready, there will be 2-3 miles of trail network on 70 acres of land. They are working on the trail part now and there will be signage of the old remains from the mill (textiles and more). There will be a designated parking area and they are currently working on this. They will be looking for volunteers soon to help with this location that will consist of heaving brush clearing, carpentry, etc. 

They talked a little about Buck Mountain in Waltham. They are working with the private owners on a conversation easement and protect the rest of the corridor to the summit. A lot of work and conversations have happened around Buck Mt and this is now in the public phase to provide public access while supporting its conservation efforts. 

Jackson and Liam thanked Rotary for their CACO grant and have already started purchasing tools and protective equipment for volunteers.
