Dates: May 1st (Monday) and May 4th (Thursday)

Maintenance Description: The Girl Scout Trail loop is relatively short, maybe half a mile, with both ends terminating at or near the highway. Tasks will include sawing and removing 4 trees blocking the trail and clearing the trail of tree debris, light brushing and overhead pruning, replacing 3-4 deteriorated log water bars, clearing the trail of small tree debris and rocks that represent a trip/fall hazard, and creating a short channel to divert water off the trail on the west end.

Thursday, May 4th:

Maintenance Description: We will be sawing and removing logs blocking or encroaching on the Circle Trail, removing brush growing in or encroaching on the trail, and light trail tread work to facilitate drainage. This is the continuation of a project that started last year.

Remember to bring water, and snacks/lunch

Safety: Please wear long pants and shirts, those of you that do not have them will be provided with a safety helmet, gloves, and safety glasses.
