Trip Report

This month's outing was our first Wednesday evening outing of our summer schedule. We met Dev Cochrane at the Martin Street trailhead to hike up the Amazon Headwaters Trail and cut back brush. The majority of our group chose to use hand tools such as hand-clippers, machetes, loppers, and rakes. Todd worked with Dev cutting back brush with gas-powered hedge clippers.
