You should check out project Sifter, which is essentially what you are describing, started in San Diego in the late 90′s but now worldwide including NY. http://sifter.org
It is fairly quiet lately due to lack of “heroes” but it only takes one to revive an area and the membership is there (and fairly easy to grow).
(Disclaimer: it’s my site. But it’s ad-free, no fee—I just maintain it for the benefit of the members.)
Open to collaborations if you want to merge efforts. I have some solutions brewing for the heroes problem, and other ideas in the pipeline, but limited time to devote to it presently.
Thanks—if I’m ever in one of those cities I’ll check it out. (Hiking seems like one of those activities in the overlap, and it’s always good to get in touch with other people who like it.)
