Repairing Trailbed on Bynum Bluff

posted in: Trail Work | 0

When brush clearing is neglected on the uphill side of a trail, the trailbed will migrate downhill.  If this goes on for years, a trail can relocate itself a surprising distance.  Recovering the original location and restoring a quality trailbed can be a lot of work.  Volunteers tackled an ailing section of trail today on the heavily trafficked Bynum Bluff.
