These days, there’s plenty of work behind the scenes, when it comes to trail work. This past Sunday, Irene Garvey and I hiked Ledge Trail and Pasture Path, in preparation for filing the necessary wetlands application with New Hampshire’s Departments of Environmental Services. Irene GPS’ed the location of river crossing and any wetlands. We noted the work we’d be doing in those locations, and made sure they met NH’s Best Management Practices. Together with permission letters from landowners, USGS maps and some other supporting materials, we’ll file the paperwork shortly. That’ll allow us to work in specific locations, such as the stream crossings– and to get to work on a new trail relocation coming soon, to the bottom of Ledge Trail.
