Trip Report

Armed with loppers, “cute saws”, and pruners, our group hiked from the Willamette main parking lot to the RidgelineTrail to prune and help remove the tree blocking the trail. Josh Shrader, Parks and Open Space staff, gave us pruning tips and manned the chain saw. The next project was to hike up to the last switch back before the summit tree line and fill in several cuts with branches and brush. We were back at the parking lot at 8:00 p.m. for lemonade and homemade rasberry brownies . Todd Larsen who has participated in many trail maintenance projects this past year, had two of us sign his membership form.
