Trail and Bridge Removal and Trail Closing Work – Cindy Lane

Nut Plains property steward Doug Clark has recommended closing the Red/White cross trail because it’s seldom used and difficult to maintain. So we plan to post our ‘Trail Closed’ signs at both ends of this short trail and block the path to both foot and bike traffic. We also plan to remove both 12ft bridges, and bring them to the Cindy Lane entrance. This work will require at least six strong people, so your participation will be most appreciated. Also, if time permits, we’d like to remove two ’step over’ trees that Doug has found on the White Trail near the Broad Hill entrance. Much to do! We’ll bring what’s needed to move the bridges (assuming a six person crew) along with a saw and protective gear, but please bring along a pair of heavy gloves and strong boots. We’ll meet at the Cindy Lane entrance to Nut Plains Preserve, just across from the pond. [est 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.
