Our TRAIL ADOPTERS
accept a
section of the Trail where they hike at least once each month and perform “easy to
handle” maintenance, i.e. trimming brush, mowing grass,
removing
branches from
the trail, refurbishing blazing, etc.
|
Volunteers are
also needed at the national office in Lowell. Contact
Laura Lindstrom, Office Manager and Financial Administrator
for info. |
They file a monthly report on the condition of their
trail section and outline larger maintenance projects to be carried out by the
Chapter work crews.
We owe them our gratitude for keeping our trail open
and in a good hiking condition for all of us to use.
This list changes
regularly (such as new adopters
being added), so if you have a section of trail and you are not listed, or you
are interested in helping, please
contact
Mick Hawkins to be added!
