We had 28 volunteers put in over 100 hours at the work day on October 2nd. We had 4 projects planned and managed to nearly complete them all.
Bridge Project
The bridge project was designed to go over a culvert and ended up being 24 ft long and 4 ft wide. The project leaders on the bridge team designed and then bult a bridge that is not just functional, it is beautiful. The bridge follows the contour and is made from white oak rough cut lumber. Anyone who hikes, rides, or runs over that bridge will take notice. Nice job by Frank Steiner, Zack Potter, Russ Wait, Frank DeLuca, Jimmy Wilke and Peter Landre.
Board Walk Projects
We had several board walk projects that bring you over large wet areas, this project encompasses over 80 ft of board walk. This group was lead by Rick Williams and his GROC Trail Crew trainees.
New Trail Builds
We had 2 new trails that had been flagged and approved by the county. Adam Reitz and John Underhill lead 2 groups of volunteers who raked, cut and cleared these new trails. The Marc Gillespie crew from Homewood lane risked life and limb to hand cut and clear logs as they were attacked by swarming hornets, but still they kept going.
We will be scheduling more work days to complete the trail system, as the goal is to have this new shared-use trail system open by the end of the month. The county will be putting in kiosks at the three main trail heads on Homewood Ln, Orchard Park Blvd., and Bay Front St. Once the core trails are established, a marking system and maps will be created.
