Introducing the Loaner Lopper Program – Volunteer on your schedule!

by

The trails need your help to look their best and could use a trim. Cutting back vegetation is an ever-present job that improves safety and makes our trails better. The ideal tools for the job are long-handled shears called “loppers”. Loppers allow you to cut stems and branches up to 1” in diameter to maintain a safe trail width and height.

In the following video, our friends Ross Downard and Eric Porter explain the nuances of trail maintenance, this is required watching for those who want to participate.

To schedule a time to pick up loppers and work on your favorite trail, please contact Ian Hartley ian@mountiantrails.org. This program is available to both individuals and groups of (up to) 10.
