To record this information in the field\, we plan to use the Avenza Map app\, which is available on both the Apple and Android handhelds or tablets paired with Loop 14 trail map.  If you’d like to add your expertise to our land review\, request <> and load the map\, put on some nice comfortable walking shoes and maybe a jacket\, and join our walk in the woods.   We’ll meet at the Upper Moose Hill entrance to Westwoods at 10AM.  Parking is limited\, so if you can’t find parking at the trail head\, park down on Lower Road and walk up the road or through the connecting trail.  [est 2  – 3 hours] URL:https://guilfordlandtrust.org/event/loop-14-evaluation-westwoods-upper-moose-hill-road-2026-10-03/ LOCATION:Upper Moose Hill Road (Westwoods)\, 1125 Moose Hill Road\, Guilford\, CT\, 06437\, United States CATEGORIES:workparty ORGANIZER;CN="Paul Proulx":MAILTO:pauljproulx@comcast.net END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20261010T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20261010T130000 DTSTAMP:20260925T145349Z CREATED:20260925T145349Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260925T145349Z UID:11621-1791626400-1791637200@guilfordlandtrust.org SUMMARY:Bridge Raising - Kampmeyer: Laurel Hollow Road Entrance DESCRIPTION:Just off the trail head entrance are eight\, 12ft bridge sections that span a large wetland area.  These are disappearing into the mud\, which isn’t good for either the bridges or the wetlands.  This work party will dig/pry these bridge sections out and install black locust sleepers underneath them.  Ahead of time\, some of us will be meeting at 9 at Spencer’s Creek to load the sleepers into Paul Sander’s truck for transport to the trailhead.  But if you’d like to help with the heavy work\, toss a crowbars\, pick and shovel into your car and meet us at 10 at the trailhead.  Decent boots and gloves are obviously suggested.  Please meet us at the Laural Hollow cul-de-sac entrance @ 10AM\, just off West Lake Avenue.   [est 2  – 2 -1/2 hours] URL:https://guilfordlandtrust.org/event/bridge-raising-kampmeyer-laurel-hollow-road-entrance/ LOCATION:Kampmeyer South\, 84 Laurel Hollow Road\, Guilford\, CT\, 06437\, United States CATEGORIES:workparty ORGANIZER;CN="Paul Proulx":MAILTO:pauljproulx@comcast.net END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20261017T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20261017T130000 DTSTAMP:20261015T203731Z CREATED:20260925T145606Z LAST-MODIFIED:20261015T203731Z UID:11623-1792231200-1792242000@guilfordlandtrust.org SUMMARY:Loop 14 Trail Work - Westwoods: Lower Moose Hill Road Entrance DESCRIPTION:Based on the work we’re planning\, we’ve changed the meeting location to the Lower Moose Hill Road entrance\, across the street from Landon’s Way.  The work we’re planning to do is:\n \n— Reroute a super muddy area on sections of Violet Circle to higher ground.\n— Reroute on the Yellow Square south of Green Rectangle which makes the detour the blazed trail\, closing the muddy section of the original trail.\n— Close an unauthorized trail on Yellow Circle where it meets Yellow Square.\n— Dropping a small grove of dead but standing beeches.\n— Trimming overgrown Mt. Laurel (at the Yellow/Green cross trail)\n— Clear the overgrown section of the Yellow Circle at the (former) powerline crossing.\n— Additional paint needed to cover graffiti (intersection of Yellow Circle and Yellow Square)\n— Move the Trail Entrance pole at the Upper Moose Hill Road entrance closer to the road.\n— Add a cedar pole to mark the intersection of the Red Triangle and Violet Circle.  Additional blazing posts would benefit sections of the Red Triangle and Violet Circle where these trails cross under the powerline clearings.\n— Blazing is needed along the Red Triangle and Violet Circle.\n \nWe don’t expect to get this all done on Saturday (!).\n \nPaul will be bringing blazing materials and graffiti paint.  And we’ll ask Patrick Perdu to bring the trimmer for trail clearing.  We’ll also have cedar posts and a post hole digger.  Multiple chainsaws will be useful.  Please bring along the usual hammers\, clippers\, and loppers to support work you’d like to help with.  A rake or leaf blower would also be helpful.  \n \nHope to see you on Saturday morning!

This is all chainsaw work\, and we’d welcome any additional sawyers who’d care to help.  Bring your saw\, 2-cycle mix and bar oil\, and maintenance tools.  A helmet & screen\, chaps and steel tipped boots are recommended for safe operation\, and meet us at the Cindy Lane entrance to Nut Plains Preserve\, just across from the pond.  If time allows\, we’ll be disassembling what’s left of the original entry sign … so a crowbar and small sledge hammer would also be helpful.   [est 2 hours] URL:https://guilfordlandtrust.org/event/trail-clearing-sign-disassembly-nut-plains-2026-10-24/ LOCATION:Cindy Lane (Nut Plains Woods)\, 88CF+8X\, Guilford\, CT\, 06437\, United States CATEGORIES:workparty ORGANIZER;CN="Paul Proulx":MAILTO:pauljproulx@comcast.net END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20261031T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20261031T130000 DTSTAMP:20261020T194827Z CREATED:20261020T194827Z LAST-MODIFIED:20261020T194827Z UID:11655-1793440800-1793451600@guilfordlandtrust.org SUMMARY:Branford Roadtrip - Hoadley Creek - Granite Road Entrance DESCRIPTION:While there’s a tree we need to remove from nearby trails\, after we finish that small task\, we’ll be traveling to Branford to examine several installations of raised plank walk where a fiberglass decking has been used to replace pressure treated wood.  If you’d like to join us on our visit to the Supply Pond and trails on the northern side of Branford\, join in our car pool.  Anyone with interest or experience in building outdoor structures is encouraged to come!   Meet us at the Granite Road trailhead\, parking in the little lot off to the right side of the Solstice (formerly the Gables) residents parking.  This is at the very end of Granite Rd.\, off of Moose Hill Rd.  [est 2 to 3 hours] URL:https://guilfordlandtrust.org/event/branford-roadtrip-hoadley-creek-granite-road-2026-10-31/ LOCATION:Hoadley Creek\, 790 Leetes Island Road\, Guilford\, CT\, 06437\, United States CATEGORIES:workparty ORGANIZER;CN="Paul Proulx":MAILTO:pauljproulx@comcast.net END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
