Want to give back to the trail? Join the Shenandoah Mountain Trail Crew at Hone Quarry next month. They will focus on brushing Big Hollow and Hone Quarry Ridge Trails, where prescribed burns have opened the canopy and caused the understory vegetation to become overgrown. Trail Maintainer Christa Neher has been working hard on cutting it back but could use a little extra help.
Contact the Work Trip Leader, Judy Bartlett, to let them know you are coming or to ask questions:
Judy Bartlett, [email protected] or 505-639-1717 (text or voice).
She will send more details a couple of days in advance to all who RSVP.
Thanks for helping to improve North River District trails for enjoyment by all trail users!
