The S.W.H.C. in cooperation with the U.S.Forest
Service adopted trial 210
the "Mitchell Ridge" trail in January of 2001.
Due to the Southern Pine Beetle damage the trail
lies inundated with dead pines.
Volunteers have invested many hours to the clearing
of this trail and many more are needed
to complete this task as more trees are falling
every day (though see Update below).
If you are interested in volunteering time to this
effort please contact us

UPDATE Saturday, April 7, 2007
The club is pleased to report that for the first time in over six years, the
entire Mitchell Ridge Trail has been cleared of downed trees, thorny briars,
and other obstacles, including a large piece of tin that a tornado deposited
there in 1974.
