We at Cantine's Island volunteer in the community, with members on the Library Board, several town committees and other community organizations. Some of our members volunteer with the Esopus Conservancy, and the community has agreed to maintain one of the trails. Doug Engel led a group through the trail we're maintaining so people would know which one it is. We're supposed to pick up debris and inform the Conservancy of fallen trees or other major work that needs doing. Along with seven adults, two kids, three dogs and a teenager hiked the snow-covered trail. It's steep, and was slippery in spots, but we had a beautiful day for it, and it was a lot of fun as well as a commitment to work.
