Green Line #6 Reroute Winter 06/07 |
The Plan Thanks to everyone who came out in the snow to help get the project started on 12.2.06 by de-brushing the first two thirds of the new route, which already looks sweet. We will continue working over the winter at the regular scheduled work parties to progress forward and hopefully have it wrapped up by April. With DNR's help we will begin using heavier equipment now that it has dried out since November's record rain, in combination with manual efforts. Some parts of the trail building process are best done by hand. Come out and help!!! See you next month. |

Why? The trail was originally built straight down an old rail road grade, bad. The trail provided the perfect route for water to drain, down its length, causing serious erosion and creating serious hazards to due its depth and concealed roots and stumps..."The Trough of Doom". The new trail will provide effective water drainage in order to mitigate erosion and a more enjoyable and esthetic route through the forest. |
Where? Just outside of Fall Creek as you head towards The Peak. |
