Red Triangle Trail Relocation – Westwoods Lower Moose Hill Road

Last spring, Cooper Woods and Jackson Howard earned their BSA Eagle awards relocating very wet portions of the Red Triangle Trail, just east of Moose Hill Road. This work party will complete that work, extending the trail along a dry and less steep path, and permanently closing the old trail sections. The relocation has been flagged with survey tape, so on this work party we’ll be clearing a few deadfalls from the path, limbing trees where necessary and posting blazes. We’ll then remove old blazing from the original trail and post our ‘Trail Closed’ signs at either end. Paul will have his chainsaw for the big stuff, but please bring along garden clippers, loppers and/or a hand saw to help with clearing. (If time and enthusiasm permits, we’ll also try hauling some surplus dock sections down to the wet portions of the Yellow Trail). Please meet us at the lower Moose Hill Road entrance to Westwoods, just across from Landon’s Way. Use street parking on Landon’s Way if it’s too crowded. [est. 2 – 3 hours]

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 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.
