Appalachian Mountain Club President John Judge presented U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen with an axe for her work to recognize her work to assure passage of the Great American Outdoors Act and her longtime support for conservation projects that provide public access. Judge explained that at the end of the season every trail volunteer is given an axe, which is the favorite tool of the crews. He said her axe was made between 1935 and 1942 and has the CCC stamp on it. Shaheen stopped at Camp Dodge in Pinkham Notch on a tour of the North Country Wednesday. (BARBARA TETREAULT PHOTO)

PINKHAM NOTCH — To celebrate the one year anniversary of the Great American Outdoors Act, U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen Wednesday visited the Appalachian Mountain Club’s Camp Dodge Trails Center.
The Great American Outdoors Act, passed last year, permanently funds the Land and Water Conservation Fund at $900 million annually and provides $9.5 billion over five years to address deferred maintenance on federal lands. The act has been called “the biggest land conservation legislation in a generation.”
