Another opportunity for more lumber hauling – same place, same project, new plan, new day!
NorthWoods is seeking volunteers to carry decking and hand railing material from the North Branch Trailhead to the project site – about 1.5 mi (one-way) on a relatively flat trail.
Many thanks to those of you who joined this past Monday! This next carry features LIGHTER wood – dry hemlock. Following the season’s first flooding, NorthWoods and USFWS planned a reroute that will eliminate two longer bridge crossings that are prone to flooding (as many of us have noticed!). Dusty also reports that the new section of trail will add ecologically notable features/viewing, including a beaver pond.
So, we promise a good time, lots of bugs, and more heavy lifting (but not quite as heavy as last time).
