Trail Maintenance


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.



Club volunteers pose for a before and after.
