| 2024-01-30 | Marnie Bolstad | Angle Path | 3 | Ruth Bigio alerted me to 3 blowdowns on the Angle Path between signposts 2092 and 2075. I began the removal of two of them by myself. Ruth came later with Pat, Shubha and Julia and finished the job. This section of the Path is now clear. fyi: I have been negligent in reporting - Over the last year or so, I have done general cleaning and brushing of this trail. It is well traveled and fairly easy to maintain. | Ruth Bigio, Patricia Lee-Achorn, Shubha Chungi, Julia Milot | This trail is subject to erosion - especially after the heavy rains this year. It is beyond my pay grade to know how to remedy it! | |
| 2024-03-20 | Joanne Newton | Monatiquot Path | 1 | Brushed the trail. | John Schepis, Nick Georgantas, Barbara Lightizer | There are 2 new large trees down close to the start of Monatiquot Path from Old Rt. 128. The first is ~ 18'" in diameter and the second is just beyond it, maybe 13". Both are huge pines. They crushed the fence along the highway when they fell. We picked up the branches that were scattered all about the area. The 3rd tree has been down for some time - I've reported it last year. It is close to the end of the trail as you head north towards Rt. 28. | |
| 2024-04-13 | John Hahnfeld | Boyce Hill Trail | 1.5 | largely cleared an obstruction just south of 2151. Cleared sapling debris, and removed two of three branches of fallen dead tree. Will do third in a few days. | In addition to the third branch, which I can handle, the fallen tree itself needs to be removed in order to provide an unobstructed path at this point. |
