Work Activities: This project will provide the public a safe and unimpeded passage to the trails. The work will include contouring portions of the path and building earthen water bars for erosion control, if needed. Materials such as dead brush may be dragged to the site to help break the visual line of the path. Trail reconstruction will consist mainly of handwork, which includes construction of stairs, rebuilding of the trail bed, construction of water bars, bucking of downed trees, brushing overgrown portions of the trail, and other standard trail construction needs indicated by the lay of the trail.
