Another Day of Clearing the Salmonberry Corridor

On September 14, Ken Wenzel, Keith Baker, Jack Kirk and Allen Sheetz headed into the Salmonberry corridor for another day of trail clearing, continuing work from an earlier volunteer outing.

Ken and Keith cut fallen logs with chainsaws, while Jack and Allen worked through brush with hand tools and a hedge trimmer. By the end of the day, the crew had cleared logs along 1.7 miles of corridor and brushed approximately one mile, contributing a combined 20 volunteer hours, plus five hours of group travel time.

The work built on clearing completed during previous outings, and Ken reported that each trip is making the corridor easier for authorized crews to travel as they inspect, maintain, and better understand conditions along the future trail.

It is careful, incremental work, but it adds up. Volunteer crews help us track conditions across a long, often difficult-to-access corridor while completing work that will support the Salmonberry Trail’s future.

Thank you to Ken, Keith, Jack, and Allen for another day in the field.
