Trail Marking Closing and Opening – Westwoods Sam Hill Road

For many years, unauthorized trails have become established throughout Westwoods. There are many different reasons why this happens, but it’s confusing for hikers and bikers, against Land Trust Policy, and also bad for the environment. This will be the first of many work parties that will begin to address this problem by (1) better marking the trails we want to keep, (2) closing and obscuring the trails we want to close and (3) educating our many users as to why this is very important. Many hands will be appreciated … closing trails is most successful if we can block its path completely. Gloves, good boots and a strong back are what we need you to bring. Please meet us at the Sam Hill Entrance to Westwoods. [est 2 to 3 hours]

Heavy rain will usually cancel any of these work parties, so if you have questions about the schedule, please feel free to contact me stewardship@guilfordlandtrust.org or Paul Proulx pauljproulx@comcast.net on the morning of each event. We’ll also announce cancellations or schedule changes by email, so it’s a good idea to check your mail before you leave the house. Paul also carries his cell phone (203-687-7756) on these events, so if you’re late and want people to wait, give him a call.
