Trails committee: nearly two miles added, volunteers log 1,842 hours and a record donation
Summary
Trails committee reported construction of nearly two miles of new trail and two volunteer-built bridges, logged 1,842.25 volunteer hours (valued at roughly $64,000–$77,000), and recognized a large donation from resident Alice Oliver to support trails.
The trails committee reported it constructed nearly two miles of new trail this year and built two bridges, one across Ludlow Creek. Committee speakers walked the audience through photos of volunteer workdays, invasive-species remediation and trail maintenance.
"We logged 1842.25 hours," the trails representative said, and the committee converted that volunteer time to an estimated economic value using state and federal hourly rates. The committee also recognized a major private gift from resident Alice Oliver and noted additional grant applications and map printing funded by LTAC were planned to support future trail work.
