Join us this coming Saturday, 10/24 at noon for another work day at the Bolton Nordic trails! The overhanging branches have been cleared, the bridges have been built, and many rocks have been removed.
With the leaves falling off the trees at around 1200′ and above, the next step is to do a final clearing of the trail. This means:
-Continuing to remove as many big rocks as possible/fill in holes with fresh dirt
-Leaf-blowing and raking off the leaves on the trail
-Clearing the leaves and sticks out of the drainage ditches
-Weedwhacking and mowing the grassy parts of the trail a final time
Some tools like rakes, shovels, and wheelbarrows will be provided. Bring a weedwhacker if you have one and we can really motor.
Aside from the rock situation, these are all relatively light tasks and it speaks to our collective effort that we’ve gotten this far already! In subsequent years, light work like this will be the only thing required to keep this trail in the pristine shape we’ve brought it to currently.
Speaking of “light work”…nothing can entice some trail work like an image of our first light post, constructed and completed by Lionel Welch at Green Mtn Electrical Supply! You can expect to be skiing under the lights of these beautiful, efficient LED bulbs and wiring systems…thanks SO MUCH to Lionel, Nate Laber, and the folks at GMES for making this lighted loop a reality.
