Packing up Tools & Walking the New Trail

The Cheasty Trail system continues to grow with lots of hard work from neighbors and plenty of support from community grants. This past weekend a cold crisp January morning did not stop families from getting out and hiking the woods, spotting hawks and trail-breaking. This was true trail breaking using a McLeod trail digging tool- for adults only.  It was also a morning of planting: snowberry, wild rose, oregon grape and a few cedar trees found themselves planted.

Each time we make it out to the community work party days I am so thankful to be a part of a new era for this forest.  Meanwhile, I hope that some of the friendships that are developing as the kids explore the hillside together will blossom.  I am certainly thankful for the new acquaintances that I am making with neighbors.
