We dropped by American Youthworks E-Corps training the other day, they were on day two of a rock rigging and splitting workshop. Included in the training were our five person Barton Creek Trail Corps who will be beginning efforts officially next week. Their first task is to work through the entire trail corridor (8.5 miles) and clear any snags, dead trees and other coat hooks / eye pokers (as we call dead limbs sticking out into the trail)
Our tremendous thanks to our funders including Impact Austin, Hill Country Conservancy, Bicycle Sport Shop and several individual donors for their amazing support of the Trail Corps. Our thanks too to REI for their support of volunteer workdays (Sat, 1/15 and Mon, 1/17)
