Part of a survey walk planned to critically review all aspects of trail condition and location throughout Westwoods, to capture other property information (like invasive plant sitings, graffiti, etc.) and unauthorized use of the property. 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 […]
We expect our inspection of Loop 9 on the 22nd will turn up a laundry list of trail issues, such as raising bridges or re-routing sections of trail. So we’ve set this day aside for beginning that work, and ask you to contact Paul if you’d like to hear what really needs doing. Alternatively, you could just show up with […]
We have a number of trail issues to deal with today. The White Trail on the eastern side of Reene’s Way is reported to need blazing (we didn’t get around to this last month), and the Bog bridges on White heading toward Barrows farm need to be reset … and decide if a third bridge is needed. And we need […]
GHS Senior Andrew Plancon’s Senior Project is to improve Neck River North trail so they’re easier to navigate and we’re scheduling this work party to help in that task. We’ll know more about the task list as we get closer to this weekend, but assume you should bring along the loppers, clippers and hand tools we normally use for trail […]

So we’ve set this day aside for beginning that work, and ask you to contact Paul if you’d like to hear what really needs doing. Alternatively, you could just show up with your […]
A continuation of last weekend’s work party where we finish up work on rerouting the White Circle trail around the pond. We’ve gotten the trail cleared, and now we need to haul a bridge to the small stream crossing and use local materials to set the ends off the ground. Once completed, we then need to blaze the trail, move […]
Cancelled because of February snow, this is part of a survey walk planned to critically review all aspects of trail condition and location throughout Westwoods, to capture other property information (like invasive plant siting’s, graffiti, etc.) and unauthorized use of the property.

Kampmeyer Property Steward Cathy Duman reports the Kampmeyer Plankwalk is in need of repair. Dating back almost 30 years, this bridging has been rebuilt several times, but continues to be a maintenance issue. This work party will take a critical look at the bridge structure and plan for both temporary and long term restoration of the structure. Spring clothing and […]
A repeat of the workparty scheduled for the end of December and middle of February, but both cancelled because of snow. This is a combination of Green Rectangle blazing work and ‘trail enhancements’ that’s needed where the trail follows the southern edge of the Great Marsh. Paul will bring the blaze materials and nails. As we’ll probably want to cut […]
