Trip Report

We met up Wednesday evening to helped city staff replace the railings along the concrete stairs at the Spencers Butte main Willamette Street trailhead. Our group split into several small groups to complete a variety of tasks. Steve and Ditte hiked up the West Trail cutting back trailside brush. Todd, Tom, Dave, and Mari hiked up the Main Trail and part way down the Tie Trail doing the same. Clara Emlen worked diligently cutting back blackberries from along the trails around the trailhead. Janet, Dave, and Mike helped remove the rotting railings and install, sand, and stain the new railings.
