Trail Fundraiser

80-Years Young & Hiking PCT to raise funds for Greenbelt

You may have seen Alsie Campbell on one of her many training hikes – from Bald Hill to Fitton Green she walks, her backpack filled and fitted to her petite frame. What you might not have realized as you crossed paths with Alsie is that 1) she is training to hike the Oregon section of the Pacific Crest Trail this summer, and 2) she is 80 years old.

“Nothing feels more natural to me than to be out in nature. Why wouldn’t I want to see the stars at night? … hear Mountain Chickadees before dawn? … smell the mountain Hemlock ? ... hear a Pika calling from its rockslide hideout or catch an unexpected glimpse of a Fisher? ... So, why wouldn’t I hike? Why would I ever stop?” ~ Alsie Campbell

Alsie is hiking the PCT (Oregon), starting in July, as a fundraiser for Greenbelt Land Trust’s Trails Fund.

"... After breakfast we took a bus to the north end and walked through its 843 acres down to Columbus Circle. That’s a pretty good-sized chunk of land, about a third again the size of Bald Hill Farm (my standard reference point these days for acreage). And I learned more facts.  Central Park’s 24,000 trees, while not actually numbered individually, are routinely surveyed (which must take a considerable bite out of the annual $42 million budget), its waterways are monitored for algal blooms (little signs crop up like daisies here and there telling you things like this), and the 9000 benches are serviced according to a fairly tight schedule by what appears to be a tribe of park employees ranging from teenaged offenders working off their public service sentences to elderly repositories of lore gleaned from decades of handling tricky questions –“Are worms wild animals?”
