Oh hey, moose 🫎👋 AMC’s Maine Woods wildlife cams captured a few long-legged locals moving through restored stream habitats. Each sighting helps our researchers understand which species use these areas and how healthy waterways support the larger landscape. What other animals do you think stopped by?

One win down for forest science, more to go 🌲 Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest will remain open thanks to bipartisan leadership and public advocacy. Now, urge Congress to protect forest research, stewardship, and staffing: outdoors.quorum.us/campaign/hub...

100+ participants, staff, and instructors. 11 hands-on workshops. One big weekend for trail stewardship. AMC’s 5th annual Trails Skills College at Camp Dodge brought the community together to build skills and care for the trails we love. ⚒️🧡

AMC plugged in to NH Energy Week last week 🔌 At the Highland Center in Bretton Woods, our team partnered with ReVision Energy to showcase the site’s solar installation and highlight how renewable energy is helping power a more resilient outdoor future. ☀️👏 #NHEnergyWeek #solar

120+ students. 18 workshops. One big question: what does a future in climate work look like? AMC’s first Youth Climate Summit brought young leaders together to learn, connect, and take action.

Thankful for the opportunity to bring partners together to talk about the future of our forests and the research that supports them 💚

🌌 Remember the last time you saw a starry sky? The awe. The quiet. The wonder. ✨ That view exists thanks to protections supported by AMC members. 💚 From advocacy → to research → to dark sky parks. Your membership keeps the stars shining bright: www.outdoors.org/get-involved... #DarkSkyWeek

Dark skies aren’t optional. They’re essential 🌌 Many species rely on natural night light to migrate, feed, and reproduce. Artificial light disrupts these rhythms and impacts entire ecosystems. Learn more: www.outdoors.org/resources/am... 📸 The Conservation Fund | Jerry Monkman #DarkSkyWeek

It’s International #DarkSkyWeek 🌌 When’s the last time you saw the Milky Way? Around 80% of people in the U.S. can’t—because of light pollution. We’re working to protect the night sky and everything that depends on it. Learn more → www.outdoors.org/amc-maine-wo... 📸 Donald Slater

The AMC 150 Relay made its way to Washington, D.C., celebrating the work that protects the outdoors—on and off the trail. 🎉 Watch now: www.youtube.com/watch?v=gCxx...

⚒️ Repairs are coming to Lincoln Woods Trail this summer. Extreme storms, drought, and changing conditions have taken a toll on this gateway to the Pemi Loop. U.S. Forest Service crews will be restoring the trail—plan ahead and reroute your hike: www.outdoors.org/resources/am...

We’re celebrating 150 years of AMC the best way we know how: outside. On March 14, the AMC 150 Outdoor Relay begins a 2,000+ mile journey from Virginia to Maine with hikes, paddles, rides, and celebrations along the way. Find your relay leg: outdoors.org/AMC150

Just back from a week of skiing in the Maine woods—the @appmtnclub.bsky.social huts. It was glorious.

A community science opportunity is right outside your door ❄️ Download the Snow Scope app, measure an undisturbed patch of snow (3 times to the nearest cm), and submit your observation. It takes minutes and helps us track how winters are changing: www.outdoors.org/resources/am...

Because you spoke up, Congress stepped up. 🎉🌲 Federal trail maintenance funding jumped from $8M to $22M — a major bipartisan win for America’s trails. ✉️ Say thanks: outdoors.quorum.us/campaign/fed... 📢 Get involved: www.outdoors.org/conservation...

It’s World Lake Day! Did you know? AMC helps lead the Dragonfly Mercury Project, using dragonfly larvae to track mercury pollution in 500+ lakes and streams nationwide. Over 6,000 community scientists—have joined in to protect water health and advance conservation. Check out the project storymap ⬇️

From solar huts to an all-electric boat, AMC is reimagining recreation for a changing climate. Goal: Net zero by 2050. Read how we’ll get there ➡️ www.outdoors.org/resources/am...

Five years ago, the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) received permanent funding through the Great American Outdoors Act. Now the Administration is trying to rollback this great conservation & recreation achievement. We must #SaveLWCF funding to protect our trails and public lands!

As trail stewards and outdoor advocates, we see firsthand how few trails are truly built for everyone. The #TrailsForAll Act (H.915/S.548) would fund inclusive trail design in MA—and set a model for others. 📣 Ask your rep to support it: p2a.co/cryo2vu

At this year’s Dandelion Dig Day at AMC’s Lakes of the Clouds, 24 volunteers removed 65 pounds of invasive dandelions from fragile alpine habitat! 🌼 Why it matters: dandelions outcompete rare native plants and disrupt alpine biodiversity—often spread by hikers’ boots.

What happens when you mix decades of air & water data, alpine plant plots, and thousands of community science sightings? You get real insight into how climate is changing the Northeast. Learn more:
