Volunteers mill donated cedar logs to reduce bridge costs on Tucker Mountain
Summary
Committee reported 12 volunteers peeled donated cedar logs for a bridge project; the group agreed to mill extra cedar logs on-site for bridge planks rather than use black locust, and to relocate at-risk lady's slipper plants before trail work.
The committee heard an update on the bridge project: John led a volunteer log-peeling project that gathered 12 volunteers and produced more donated cedar logs than needed. John proposed bringing a portable mill to site and milling the extra cedar logs into bridge planks rather than using black locust, which the committee said would produce cost savings.
Members also discussed relocating lady's slipper plants that are in the planned work area; Hannah, Kim and Kurt will locate and move those plants to safer locations before trail work begins.
