Dear Trail Friend,
If you are reading this letter, and logged on to www.southamptontrails.org, I’m
sure that you love hiking, kayaking and horseback riding on Long Island’s trails
and bays. Let me tell you more about Southampton Trails Preservation Society
(STPS).
STPS is a 23-year-old organization that advocates for open space within the
Town of Southampton, leads weekly hikes, kayak trips and/or horse back rides
and creates and maintains trails. Here are some statistics from 2009 (through
September):
If you’ve participated with us in the past or hiked or ridden Town of Southampton
trails alone, you can thank dedicated STPS members who led the hikes and
created and maintained the trails.
We are a group of people who love being outdoors, learning about the local flora
and fauna, getting exercise and just having fun. We hike Saturdays and Sundays,
year round. I enjoy hiking in the winter when the weather is crisp and clear, with
the leaves off the trees the vistas are especially beautiful. We also enjoy getting
together for a snack or lunch at a local restaurant after some of our hikes. We
tell ourselves that we deserve it since we’ve just hiked so many miles!
If you enjoy the trails as much as I do, I encourage you to join us on a hike or ride
and become a member of Southampton Trails Preservation Society. While you
can get our event schedule on this website and in the local papers, members also
receive the schedule and the minutes of our meetings emailed or snail mailed to
their homes. But, more importantly, the larger the STPS membership, the
greater the voice we have with local officials to advocate for open space and
trails. If you would like to become a member of STPS, click on the Membership
Button to learn how to join.
I look forward to seeing you soon!
Sincerely,
Glorian Berk, President
Southampton Trails Preservation Society
