Liam is a conservation enthusiast with a strong interest in trail work and publicly accessible lands. He discovered his passion during his time with The Student Conservation Association (SCA), where he served on a roving trail crew across the Pacific Northwest and later with the NYS Excelsior Conservation Corps' Infrastructure and Sustainability Crew. Throughout his service, Liam gained practical work skills experience and received specialized trainings in carpentry, wet and dry masonry, and historic preservation practices. After his time with the SCA, Liam became the Senior Trails Technician for New York State Park’s Thousand Islands region. There, he managed the trails in the region’s 28 state parks and supervised the day-to-day work of the SCA Parks Corps trail crew, providing their main source of on-the-job training and trail skills instruction.
Liam is joining MALT as the new Trails and Volunteer Manager to use his knowledge and experience to support MALT's mission of preserving and protecting the natural beauty of Addison County. Liam's leadership skills and experience working with public volunteers make him an asset to the MALT team. In his free time, Liam enjoys hiking, and exploring new trails far and wide. Liam is eager to contribute his skills and experience to MALT's work and help ensure the well-being and long-term sustainability of the area's natural and human communities.
