trail mix T of activities story and photos

BY JOSEPH ABRAHAM

here are many reasons to visit the Sullivan Catskills. One of which is the beauty of nature, or more specifically in this case, a number of trails and wonderful hiking opportunities.

Take a walk, run or ride your bike in one of the most gorgeous places on Earth.

A major resource to outdoor enthusiasts is trailkeeper.org.

The project provides easy-toread, easy-to-access maps and facilities information and guides to hiking safety. Find beautiful outdoor trails that you can hike, bike or even horseback ride. While youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re out, check out the shops, lodgings, and attractions of Sullivan County.

A great part of the website is that it rates the level of difficulty of different trails so you know what to expect.

It should be noted at this time that some places are continued on next page

Relax by the water at the Hurleyville Rail Trail. This trail is completely paved, making it accessible for everybody.

closed or have different hours due to the COVID-19 crisis.

Therefore, it’s important to do your due diligence to see if a specific trail or park is open.

Other rules to follow at this time include: Do not use Parks or Trails if you are experiencing COVID-19 symptoms; Follow CDC’s guidance on personal hygiene before and after going outside, and remember ticks are still out there; Prepare yourself for limited public restrooms and water fountain access; If the parking lot is full or there are a lot of people, go to another location; and Keep 6 feet away from other hikers at all times.

Getting out on the trails are a great way to get fresh air, live a healthier lifestyle and marvel in the breathtaking sights.

But enough talk. We’ll see you in the great outdoors … from a safe distance of course!

hile the coronavirus is a threat to the health of many people, the other big effect it’s had is on the economy. Sullivan County for years has been synonymous with tourism, and with the need for social distancing, there are many questions about what changes lie ahead.

the months ahead in tourism and hospitality JA: Once the ban is lifted, what can the public do to help the tourism industry?

SF: It’s a simple equation here in Sullivan County.

We have one main industry and that is tourism.

The effort to bring other industries to the county should continue. But fish where there's fish.

One in five jobs is directly related to tourism in this county. Twenty percent of [all county] jobs are tourism jobs. We produced $35 million in sales tax through tourism for this county last year. And it was on a tear. The year over year growth was ex-

ponential. And now it's shut down. So we have to figure out a couple things. One, we need to get our industry going again, and we need to keep our population and our local community safe. Those two things are not mutually exclusive.

We need to be thoughtful and strategic on how we approach both priorities. And so it's done at an industry level and then at an individual business level. Clearly when we reopen, we are going to have less people in our dining rooms. And that's probably going to persist for a long time.

I think everyone is really grouped together and trying to find the best practices that make the most sense. And when we do open back up, I think all of us are going to use these next couple weeks to figure out how we communicate the message that we're being safe but our arms are wide open and we need people and want people to come back to Sullivan County and support our industry.

JA:When everything does open back up, for Foster Supply and others tourist attractions, how might things look different?

SF: Interestingly enough, we're built in hospitality to have very direct personal contact with guests. We’re looking at it from a Foster Supply standpoint of how can we make a guest feel comfortable to have actual limited interaction. And it’s going to be tactical along the way.

We were talking this morning about menus. Let’s just use that tiny example of what’s going to be one of 100 different touch points that we're going

somebody? But then how do you make sure that there's a note that tells them how grateful we are that they're coming back?

Foster Supply, in a lot of places in the county, has a real interesting advantage. We have huge backyards, so people can spend time outside and we’re entering the season where that's viable. We’re going to be messaging that left and right. People that have been cooped up in an apartment and their only options to go walk are on a crowded street.

We live in an environment that is enviable to that situation. And for a lot of us, we have the ability to expand our dining rooms, to outside to different rooms, to create the social distancing that we're all going to have to provide right away. And frankly, I think we need to assume that we're going to have to provide it for at least the rest of this year and potentially into next year.

And so then there's all the other points that you hear about, people taking temperatures in Hong Kong before they're allowed to come in through external thermometers ... I don't know maybe ... we’re looking at every option that we have to make people feel safe. But people CONTRIBUTED are going to want to get back to a PHOTO restaurant and a hotel experience.

Foster Supply We had some guests the very last Hospitality Coweekend that we were open beFounder Sims fore we chose to close the hotels.

Foster talking to local students about their food and where it comes from.

Foster Supply Hospitality co-founders Sims and Kirsten Foster started the non-profit, A Single Bite, four years ago which empowers young people to care about what they eat and where their food comes from. They started by partnering with the Livingston Manor Central School District and have recently expanded into the Roscoe and Sullivan West School Districts.

During the COVID-19 crisis, however, they’ve shifted their focus to feeding their neighbors. Another part of A Single Bite’s mission is addressing the local and national concern of food insecurity. Because of their connections with schools and A Single Bite Executive Director Audrey Garro, and business and professional hands available during this crisis –– as FSH did not lay anybody off –– they were able to mobilize an effort to feed the community.

Students who receive free or reduced lunch are mandated by the state during this crisis to be fed by their school. FSH realized that if the kids are in this position, so are their parents. So A Single Bite has been tagging along and delivering meals based on a family of five to these homes as well. They are currently producing 2000 meals a week in what has been an amazing team effort. The community has helped, as they’ve raised $80,000 in three weeks which is used to purchase the food product. FSH is donating labor, their kitchens and all other aspects.

By the way, I'm also very proud of our local Sullivan County hospitality industry. To be clear, we are listed as an essential business. All of us could be open and welcoming guests to the hotel rooms and almost across the board, everyone chose the better option to be safe and close down our businesses. It was not mandated. The restaurants … yes, of course, but not the hotels. But as we reopen our hotels, putting these procedures in place is going to be critical.

JA:What effects will this crisis have on this summer and the future of tourism and hospitality?

SF: I think we're going to be in an extended period of having these protocols that we're putting in place now. You're not going to be able to sit somebody right next to somebody two feet away for a long time. You're not going to be able to two months into the summer, just pretend that this didn’t happen and go back to the way things were.

There's going to be a new way to welcome a guest to a restaurant, to a hotel [and] into the hospitality world. That's for sure.

A large impact to our business and to many people's businesses is the limitation on holding large events. What does that mean for a place like Bethel Woods? What does that mean for the wedding business, which has been a growing, especially in the western part of the county. We have to assume that it's going to be a while before somebody says, ‘Sure, bring 250 people in from all around the country and the world and mix them together.’

I think businesses need to understand that those impacts will be the longest effects of this crisis and this pandemic. So we’re [FSH] going to have to retool. We have a healthy wedding business. We were supposed to have our first wedding of the season this coming weekend

[May 2-3]. Clearly that's not happening. And we just keep pushing further out. We’ve now moved all the June weddings and that's going to be an interesting new paradigm and it will be very interesting to understand when we will be able to bring more than six people together in one space.

And then, the positive view of this is that [Sullivan County is] uniquely positioned. We have a lot of attributes that people are going to be looking for. The stat I just saw is that 72 percent of people, in a recent poll, said that they are willing and want to travel as soon as they can.

And then they talked about wanting to go by car and get out of high density areas. Well, I mean, that’s going to all lean into the best attributes of us as a county and as a region. So we could be better off than certainly some other places.

doves from a distance

Most of the Sullivan County Dove Trail is still accessible. For more detailed information about each dove, such as their address and artist, visit sullivancatskills.c om/interactivedove-map/.
