The trail maintenance training the Master Naturalists has paid off for 3 local trails, suffering from ice storm damage.

Thursday, April 9, The Trail Patrol met at the trail with tools and safety gear. Cookies were provided. Dwan's email about the work day is as follows:
" Got'er done! - We had a hardy bunch that braved the elements this morning and worked like Trojans to open up the Big Bluff Trail. I'm delighted to say that we completed clearing the trail of all the ice storm debris. That's not to say that our work is done. There's still limb dragging and some tread work to attend to, but the downed trees have been moved and many limbs cleared off the path.
I noticed that the drainage cuts that we made on our fledgling outing worked like a charm...there was definite evidence of water flowing OFF of the trail at those points."
Trail Patrol Clears Big Bluff Trail
by Gay Vekovius NC Arkansas Master Naturalist 
Members of the Trail Patrol team of the North Central Arkansas Master Naturalists successfully cleared the Bluff Trail at Bull-Shoals White River State Park last Thursday. All the brush and large trees across the trail have been removed from the trail tread. The trail patrol will continue to work on this, their adopted trail, to improve and maintain it. The Trail Patrol will next assist the Corps of Engineers in clearing the Bidwell trail. This trail, as many in the area, was hard hit by our ice storm. |
