No More Pits: A New Era of Waste Management on the Long Trail
March 6 @ 6:30 am - 8:00 pm
Pit privies are gross. Dig a hole, poop in it until it fills up, cover, repeat. So it is a grand accomplishment, and also a relief, to have finally decommissioned the last pit privy on the Long Trail System in 2024. How did GMC make it to this point, and what still lies ahead? In this presentation, Field Coordinator Nigel Bates will discuss the past, present, and future of waste management on the Long Trail.
Our in-person programming returns this year to the Meeting Hall at GMC Headquarters in Waterbury Center. We look forward to welcoming you back to our club space and invite you to join us for a sneak peek of the nearly complete Rothberg-Birdwhistell Visitor Center before the event. Check out the new building, mingle with other hikers, and enjoy light refreshments.
