A new and excellent book from Amber and Joshua Niven and we chat with them about their Appalachian trail hiking backgrounds and of course, about their new book. They share their insights on making your Appalachian Trail experience the best there can be!
From beginners to thru-hikers, Discovering the Appalachian Trail has something for anyone that wants a connection with the nation’s longest marked footpath at approximately 2,181 miles. Starting at Springer Mountain in Georgia and finishing far to the north in Maine’s Mount Katahdin, the A.T. crosses 14 states, 6 national parks, and 8 national forests. Taking on the A.T. is a pilgrimage because of both its beauty and accessibility. Let Joshua Niven and Amber Adams guide you across the best trails that the Appalachian Trail has to offer. Complete with full-color photography, you’ll also have hikes suited to every ability, mile-by-mile directional cues, sidebars, and maps.
You can find their book at your local bookstore (best option!) or on Amazon.

John Waldron is Executive Director of the NY Chapter of the Brotherhood of the Junglecock (that's a bird who's feathers where once highly prized for fly tying if you were wondering!). For over 25 years, the NY Chapter of BOJC has provided high quality fly-fishing and conservation-focused education to thousands of kids - many of them completing the seven year program and achieving the status of graduating in our Masters program, usually in their late teens. Our annual Campfire is our once a year, three-day event that is well supervised, safe, and most importantly - designed to for fun and learning at the same time. We've literally had generations of kids come through our program and become adults who cherish the world of fly-fishing and are keenly aware of their role in keeping our fisheries in excellent health for generations to enjoy. For many families and sponsors, the NY BOJC annual campfire is a calendared event each year!
If you have kids ages 5 - 17, we encourage you to contact us about our program and look forward to seeing you at our 2022 Annual Campfire - we are celebrating 25 years of service in 2022.

National Deer Association: Hunting & Diversity
DirksOutdoors
03/12/22 • 45 min
Much of the outdoors - especially in hunting - has been long dominated by rural, non-diverse groups. Conservation and outdoor opportunities like hunting and fishing - depends wholly on future generations to support and actively influence them. So the effort is on among many outdoor-oriented organizations who are recognizing the need to have hunting and other outdoor activities reflect the diversity of our great country.
Great interview here with Hank Forester, Director of Hunting for the NDA and a newly recruited and urban based hunter, Avery Toledo - who lives in the NYC area and through an NDA-sponsored event - has discovered the adventures of hunting and the greater outdoors.
Avery shares his path to hunting and how it has impacted his life - and gives us hope that we can open the outdoors and the opportunities it presents - to those who live in urban areas around our country. Very inspiring indeed!
