Today eight of us cleared the trail with chain saws, weed eaters, clippers and signs. There now is a beaver dam to cross to get to the lunch spot by the ponds which seemed fairly sturdy.
We need to revisit this section later in the season to protect the walls in the shelter at Berg Stopover as well as see to fixing the boardwalk at the beginning. A shorter but intense work day with coffee in Beaumont.
Trail maintenance news
Up and Down We Worked the Battle River Trails
Three crews went out to work the Battle River trails. Four people went to the end of East Battle from RR 210 to the end of the tableland we chained, clipped, signed and carted wood from a stile we dismantled and redistributed it over wet areas.
We even stopped to smell the crocuses and have lunch!
Two crew met with a nearby landowner and built a new boardwalk near A60.
Three others went from A56 to A57 Battle Gwynee going one way chaining, signing, clipping, mending stiles and repurposing some old lumber making a bridge over a little creek in the valley between two hills.
A well deserved break; Coffee was in Camrose.
