We visited our Barton Creek Trail Corps team this morning and they are well into week 3 of their efforts. Â The first week was focused on corridor clearing – removing leaning trees, snags and any invasive species from the Zilker Access Trailhead up to the split at the New Wall, about 1.3 miles south. Â Last year, they began their work on a new rock stair area (actually it’s two separate sets of steps) at the base of Homedale Access Trail at Campbell’s Hole, by hauling some very big rocks using rigging techniques. Â Work is nearing completion on this first rock work effort, so check out the photos. Â More rock work and corridor clearing will be happening this week and next.
We have another volunteer workday coming up this Saturday, Jan 29th from 9 am to 1 pm at Homedale Access Trail (behind Barton Hills Elementary School) Â This workday is being organized by the Greenbelt Guardians and you can RSVP to Glee Ingram at gleeful@earthlink.net.[/fusion_builder_column][/fusion_builder_row][/fusion_builder_container]
