Updates Underfoot

Been awhile since any news on the trails has been posted so here's a bit of an update and itinerary. With winter behind us the yearly chores of maintaining the trails have come to the forefront. We ask that anyone walking the trails take a quick moment to pull aside a piece of deadfall or pick up a bit of litter as they pass through. Thanks, every little bit helps!

On Saturday May 4th the Holy Cross crew team will once again dedicate a morning of their time to do a thorough cleanup of the entire trail system. If any of the designated trail stewards are able to help us out during this event please comment here or contact GWLT directly. As for planned projects, we'd like to tackle some erosion prone areas like installing water bars on the East Side Trail leading downhill to Coal Mine Brook at Plantation Street and constructing a rustic stairway on the Millstone Trail just east of Skyline Drive.

But in the interim, get out and enjoy the trail system. Woodcocks are migrating through sounding their evening "beezp" call,  to be replaced in short time by the "peepers" emerging from the many wet areas and vernal pools abutting the trail system,

I've been a bit busy with my new baby boy but I should be able to help out.
