Meet Peter, an undergraduate student from Colgate University working as a Summer Trail Stewardship through Colgate University’s Upstate New York Field Institute. Peter is researching invasive species removal at the Essex Quarry Nature Preserve this summer in partnership with the Adirondack Garden Club. His work provides valuable insights for the Champlain Area Trails team to preserve public trails for future generations of visitors.
Originally from Chicago and raised in Northern California, he enjoys outdoor recreational activities such as trail running and rock climbing. Peter’s favorite Champlain Area Trails path is the Beaver Flow trail.
