This is another of our ‘Build a Better WW Trails’ series. On this work party, we plan to work on sections of the White/Orange cross trail just north of the relocation work we performed in late November. We’ll be removing a tree and re-routing the trail to make this disused cross trail easier to use, especially in wet weather. And […]
Our second ‘walk ’n work party’ of the year, open to all interested in helping but not so interested in the noise and equipment used on many of our work parties.

GLCT director and Property Steward Melissa Robinson is organizing an effort to begin clearing a potpourri of foreign invasive plants from the Mill Pasture property.

We’ve received a report of a large tree down over a section trail about as distant from our trail head as possible. So we’ll be hiking in to clear this tree, and intend on using this opportunity to check out as many trails as we can in the process. A backup saw would be welcomed, and extra hands to share […]
Continued blaze posting and hopefully the completion of the Yellow Trails. See the 4th of February for details of what to bring along. Please meet us at the Peddlers Road trail entrance @ 10AM. Rain or significant snow will usually cancel any of these work parties, so if you have questions about the schedule, please feel free to contact me […]
Members of Cub Scout Pack 475 (and their parents) will be joining us to continue the installation of our new plastic blazes in the Westwoods Trails network. And while the actual trail we plan to blaze is dependent on progress earlier in the month, we guess we’ll be concentrating on the Blue Rectangle, the primary East/West trail which connects with […]
