February 13, 2010 - Oneonta Scout and Survey "TRAIL EYES" PDF Print E-mail

Saturday, February 13, Oneonta trail Survey Work Party

Come join us as the Trailkeepers of Oregon discuss the components of a good trail
survey hike. This work project will also include recording size & location notes and
photographing any fallen trees that are impacting the trail. This information will be
used to determine their impact on the trail and help determine whether future trail
projects are required.

Learn how to use your eyes in a new way as you examine a beautiful stretch of earth
and yes, a nice stretch of water, too! Along the way you may find trail concerns including
outsloping landslides, developing berm, tread cupping, and/or overflowing water drain
features   - in fact you may be asked to help correct these problems, too!

Get a sense of what an experienced Trailkeeper sees when they look at a stretch of trail.
It's a wonderful new way to enjoy your natural hiking trails.

All experience levels are welcomed! TKO provides safety provisions, tools, and your
training. YOU provide your time and willingness :  to be safe, to have fun, and
to do some good for the trails.

To find out more and get yourself on the attendees list, email our volunteer coordinator

Thanks for supporting the Trailkeepers of Oregon and your trail resources!

Good morning. This are the picture from TKO last work project and the work report from " Oneonta trail Survey 02/13/10.
Work on draining a muddy portion of the trail by digging 5 drainage channels, remove a 10' log that the end was felt on the trail, clean up the debris from others felt trees, cut branches to a felt tree, feel up a 2' by 1' hole in the trail, remove landslide debris and rocks felt on the trail in our way up to Franklin Ridge trail jct.
