Windstorm!
12/19/2021
There was a lot of a huffin’ and a puffin’ out there on December 11th, 2021
Our captains logged a lot of hours in the aftermath, well over 40 downed trees were safely cleared away from the single-tracks.
Thank you to the volunteers! Your efforts continue to allow the community sustainable access to a natural space; this has all sorts of mental and physical health benefits for visitors and generates economic benefit for outdoor-related industry.
Picture dump to follow and let’s hope it’s a good while until the next storm!
