Trex News 3/2012

We met with the County last week. Here is a brief summary of the latest issues:

1) Frank Maguire's report along with Lorne from DCNR convinced Bob Stiffler to hire a Professional Trail Organization to create a Master Plan for the mountain biking trail network. There is RecTap (sp?) available for parks in need of professional guidance.

2) Bob asked we not build any new trails until the plan is done except we have permission to hand build "The Glade Trail" to get us from the existing network down to the Fireman's Trail.

3) We have permission to finish and clean up the existing network

4) VMB will be working with Carl from the Wildlands on experimenting with vegetation remediation, including spraying, re-establishing native species, invasive removal techniques, seed mix, etc

5) Andrew will be making temporary signs immediately, but VMB will be working with Tom Gettings on permanent signs. The Wildlands will get the signs made.

I probably forgot something, but those are the major issues
