On Sunday September 10th, Great Hollow Nature Preserve and the Putnam County Parks & Recreation Commission will be leading a special joint hike in remembrance of FDNY firefighter, George Cain, who lost his life in the attack on the World Trade Center in 2001. Cain, a Patterson NY resident and outdoor enthusiast, was often found hiking, skiing and bicycling throughout the Putnam County park that borders Great Hollow. After 9/11, the Putnam County Parks & Recreation Commission commemorated him with a trailhead and outdoor monument in recognition of his heroism. We will meet at the Great Hollow parking lot at 9am and then carpool up to the George Cain Memorial trailhead on Quaker Hill. The hike will take about 2.5 hours and is moderately difficult in some sections. To register, please contact John at .
