The NorthWoods Conservation Corps passed the halfway point in its summer season\u00a0this past week and hikers and outdoor enthusiasts will find signs of their efforts throughout the region.<\/p>\n

Substantial trail management projects are recently completed or underway on Bald Mountain in Westmore,\u00a0Wheeler Mountain in Sutton, and on the Cohos Trail in northern New Hampshire.<\/p>\n

Most recently, the Corps completed two weeks of intense restoration work on the Bald Mountain Mad Brook\u00a0Trail to address damage caused by illegal ATV and motorbike use. Working with the Vermont Department of\u00a0Forests, Parks and Recreation, the local \u2018NorthWoods Crew\u2019 restored timber and stone retainers and waterbar\u00a0structures originally constructed over a decade ago by earlier NorthWoods crews.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s remarkable how well these structures have held up over the years\u201d, noted NorthWoods Trail Director Luke\u00a0O\u2019Brien, \u201cIt goes to show that simple, well-constructed backcountry trail techniques can have a significant and\u00a0long-lasting impact on mountain trails.\u201d He continues: \u201cThe upper Mad Brook Trail on Bald Mountain\u2014which is\u00a0part of Willoughby State Forest\u2014has taken some hard use in recent years, particularly from ATV\u2019s that dislodged\u00a0older trail structures and caused significant erosion.\u201d<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, a contractor was hired by FPR to improve drainage on the access trail and reposition several\u00a0large stones to deter motorized access.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe trail needs time to heal\u201d O\u2019Brien says.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

Both NorthWoods and the State of Vermont are working hard to maintain and improve access at Bald\u00a0Mountain\u2014including the restoration of the historic summit cabin in 2013\u2014and encourage visitors to follow\u00a0State Forest regulations, respect both public and private trail lands, and tread lightly on the land when you hike.\u00a0Discussions are currently underway to improve portions of the Long Pond Trail on the south side of Bald in the\u00a0near future.<\/p>\n

Each year, NorthWoods employs over 60 young people (ages 15-20) to participate in the NorthWoods\u00a0Conservation Corps. The program offers paid employment, training, and environmental education to local youth\u00a0during a six-week summer work season. Additional projects for 2016 include trail work, wildlife management\u00a0projects and other conservation service projects that benefit the public.<\/p>\n

Established in 1989, NorthWoods Stewardship Center is a nonprofit environmental education and conservation\u00a0service organization based in East Charleston, Vermont. Through three programs\u2014education and camps, a\u00a0youth conservation corps, and the Forest Stewardship Institute\u2014NorthWoods inspires individuals to be\u00a0stewards of their environment.<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5159,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[13,226,12],"tags":[1055,1290,1073,125,1291,1062],"class_list":["post-5158","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-conservation-corps","category-front-page","category-news","tag-bald-mountain","tag-cohos-trail","tag-conservation","tag-corps","tag-mad-brook-trail","tag-wheeler-mountain"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n2016
