Fall Trail Work ~ Scheduled for Saturday, November 3rd
Many trees came down on the LT last winter, many of them significant in size & obscuring the trail, making it hard to follow in several places.
- Latest trail reports.
- Trail Work Photos are on our Trail Work page.
- Crosscuts, or larger hand saws, will be brought in to clear the trees because many are in Bread Loaf Wilderness area.
- Please notify GMC or our Trail Manager David Morrissey if you encounter trees blocking portions of the trail. Thank you, all our Long Trail volunteers and trail adopters! Contact David re: additional trail work days later this summer.
- Also, learn about all GMC volunteer opportunities: GMC Volunteer page.
