Trail building




Today I "fine tuned" a couple trails I built last year for the Lake County Forest Preserve District. The trails are in St. Francis Woods adjoining Independence Grove and are used for environmental/naturalist education in their summer Day Camp program for students in K-8 grades. As part of the project, I also constructed 2 stairways to assist in safely traversing the trails. I was trained in trail building by professional crews of the US Forest Service and have completed 20 such volunteer projects all across the country during the last 11 years. Photos and descriptions of all these projects can be found at here.
