During 2006, North Shore NEMBA built two new trails just South of Salem Pond that tied into an existing "Middle Trail", see map at right.  The trail work during this year's first trail care event involved adding some drainage to the Middle Trail as well as rerouting the entrance near the fire road.  The entrance to the Middle Trail was and continues to be a "Y" in order to provide easy access from both directions along the fire road.  However, one leg of the "Y" has been rerouted away from a fall line and closer to the other leg.  This reroute makes the entrance more visible and will help prevent erosion.  Regarding drainage, a lot of hard work went into building a significant drainage feature that was added in order to fix a wet area near the lower portion of the trail.  Also, a lot of smaller drainage features were added along the upper portions of the trail.

Thanks to all of the Volunteers for their hard work and we hope for another beautiful day and great turnout at out next trail care event.
