Hello all I took a walk at SME with Carl from Wildlands Conservancy and he asked me to pass along to VMB a request for some trail work for rock armoring a portion of a reroute of the western or right hand side of the orange loop. This is the portion of trail immediately after the large boardwalk and along the side of the hill that gets very sloppy from springs coming off the mountain. The flagging and majority of small cutting has already been done for the reroute. A really nice sturdy bridge is going to be installed to span the small creek. Carl will coordinate some chainsaw work as necessary.
The work that VMB can start immediately consists of rock armoring any low spots on both sides of the new bridge that is being installed. The new trail will eliminate most of the wet spots, but armoring will prevent seasonal soft trail conditions. Let me know what dates work well for you and hopefully we can get a group together. Enclosed is a picture of one of newly installed signs and the new bridge laying on its side waiting to be installed. Later we will need a crew to help move the bridge in place. Thank you
